I want both graphs to have the same color for the class variable. For the histogram, the coloring is set by 

styleattrs DATACOLORS=(blue red )

 But how do I set the same colors to differentiate between the classes in the vbar?

 

%let _input = sashelp.bweight;
%let class=black;
%let response=weight ;

proc sgplot data=&_input.;
title "Distribution &response."; 
styleattrs DATACOLORS=(blue red );
histogram &response. / group=&class. transparency=0.5;
density &response.  / group=&class. lineattrs=(pattern=solid);
xaxis display=(nolabel);
run;
proc sgplot data=&_input.; styleattrs DATACOLORS=(blue red ) ; title "Mean &response. per &class. "; vbar &class. / response=&response. stat=Mean name='Bar' filltype= solid datalabel; yaxis grid; run;

Add the GROUP= Option to the VBAR Options to make the procedure alter between the specified datacolors

 

%let _input = sashelp.bweight;
%let class=black;
%let response=weight ;

proc sgplot data=&_input.;
title "Distribution &response."; 
styleattrs DATACOLORS=(blue red);
histogram &response. / group=&class. transparency=0.5;
density &response.  / group=&class. lineattrs=(pattern=solid);
xaxis display=(nolabel);
run;

proc sgplot data=&_input.;
styleattrs datacolors=(blue red) ;
title  "Mean &response. per &class. ";
vbar &class. / group=&class. response=&response. stat=Mean name='Bar' filltype=solid datalabel;
yaxis grid;
run;

Edit: Also, you can add the transparency=0.5 to the VBAR option (as in the histogram options) to make the colors exactly the same.

Thank you, didnt realise I needed to specify groups= , thought that would be implicit.
