Changing column colors in a Column Chart based on threshold

Hi, 

I am trying to create a column chart that if the value is greater than 3 then the column of the Column chart turns red while if the value is less than or equal to 3, the column of the chart is green. 

Below is my search that I started off with:

index | timechart span=5m avg(totalTime) as avg_value limit=20
| eval threshold=3

I tried:

index | timechart span=5m avg(totalTime) as avg_value limit=20
| eval threshold=3
| eval "red"=if(avg_value > threshold, avg_value,0)
| eval "green"=if(avg_value<threshold, avg_value,0)
|fields - avg_value


Then I went into the source code and defined the colors but the column chart did not change colors.  

 <option name="charting.fieldColors">{"red":0xFF0000,"green":0x73A550}</option>

 I do not want the columns stacked. 

Kindly help.

Have you tried series colors rather than fieldColors?

I figured it out. I added if statements in my search x=if(avg <= threshold, avg,0) and then went to the source code and assigned x a color.
