Choropleth Maps using static colors

Here is the search (redacted a little)..

| inputlookup xxxxxxxxx_xxxxxx.csv
| search Area_designation="$status$"
| rename "Site Designation" as Site_designation
| stats count by Country
| geom geo_countries allFeatures=True featureIdField=Country

The $status$ token has a possible five values, I want to assign a color to each of the values.

I have seen a response from 2015 that indicates it is possible, but have not been able to make it work..
