I'm using EG. I have some code that produces a bar chart: 

data work.plot1;
length Month $20.;
infile datalines delimiter='#';
input Year MOnthNum Month $ S DL cum_sum;
datalines;

I want to be able to change the bar colors for each group. for instance for 2021 I want to be grey and 2022 I want to be light blue. I can't seem to make this work.
