Can the bars of a bar graph be different colors?

If I make a bar or column graph, the bars / columns are always the same color. I see how right clicking the graph I can change the color of the bars, but it always changes all the colors (ie for all the bars in the single graph). I want to color code each bar to match some text notes I am making. Is there a way to make one bar red and another green on the same graph for example?

Thanks.

Click on any bar to select all bars and click again on the bar you want to change and then right click to format that bar.
