How to change chart colors

I've been looking everywhere to change the chart colors.. going nuts. Either I am completely blind or Numbers are missing the possibility to do this simple task: Change the individual column-colors of a 3d chart - to whatever color I need.

Any thoughts?

No problem. Select the series you want to change by clicking on the bars for that series. They'll get little white dots at top and bottom when selected. Go to the graphic inspector. Choose a different fill color.

recall,

There's no way to assign a different color to each bar of a single series of data. You can defeat this fact of life by charting several single-point data series and pretending they are one multi-point series. Then drag a different color to each of the series from the 3D Texture Fills in the Chart Colors Pane.
