A color is set per series, as discussed here: [How to set labels for eached coloured bar in Plots.jl's bar()? - #6 by xiaodai](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-set-labels-for-eached-coloured-bar-in-plots-jls-bar/9312/6)

You could do:

```julia
julia> bar([[i] for i ∈ x], [[i] for i ∈ y], 
            color = permutedims(ifelse.(y .< 0, "#db5a44", "#447adb")), 
            label = "")

```
