In reply to Daniel Keller.

SAS 9.2 was released in 2008. There have been many improvements since then for controlling the color of bars, such as attribute maps in SAS 9.3 and the STYLEATTRS statement in SAS 9.4. I no longer remember which techniques were available in 9.2, but I think your best bet is to look into ODS styles. Perhaps the %MODSTYLE macro will work for you. You can also ask your question at the ODS Graphics Support Community.
