Column chart - adding labels directly below each column and coloring the columns

I've read a bunch of questions and answers on this topic but I am not able to implement the column chart meeting these two requirements:

  1. For each column there should be a lable directly below the column.
  2. Each column should have a predefined color.

This is a mock-up of how it should look like:

These were my two attempts:

First attempt (Coloring the columns did not work, but labels below the columns worked):

search:  

 

index=itdmfc-p source="jira_history://IT-DemMgmt-FC" issue_type="Sub-task"
| rename components{} AS components
| where components LIKE "Cloud"
| dedup key
| eval assigned = if(status=="Assigned", "Assigned", null)
| eval inProgress = if(status=="In Progress", "In Progress", null)
| eval waiting = if(status=="Waiting for customer", "Waiting for customer", null)
| eval accepted = if(status=="Accepted", "Accepted", null)
| eval declined = if(status=="Finally Declined", "Finally Declined", null)
| eval obsolete = if(status=="Obsolete", "Obsolete", null)
| eval total = "1"
| chart count(total) as Total, count(assigned) as Assigned, count(inProgress) as "In Progress", count(waiting) as "Waiting for customer", count(accepted) as Accepted, count(declined) as Declined, count(obsolete) as Obsolete
| transpose 0 column_name="Status"​

 

Result: (impossible to color the single columns separately)

I've tried coloring the columns with <option name="charting.seriesColors">[ffffff, F5B041, F7DC6F, D5DBDB, 3DB42A]</option> and also with charting.fieldColors but it didn't bring the expected result.

 

Second attempt (Coloring the columns worked, but labels below columns not):

search: 

 

index=itdmfc-p source="jira_history://IT-DM-FC" issue_type="Sub-task"
| rename components{} AS components
| where components LIKE "Cloud"
| dedup key
| eval assigned = if(status=="Assigned", "Assigned", null)
| eval inProgress = if(status=="In Progress", "In Progress", null)
| eval waiting = if(status=="Waiting for customer", "Waiting for customer", null)
| eval accepted = if(status=="Accepted", "Accepted", null)
| eval declined = if(status=="Finally Declined", "Finally Declined", null)
| eval obsolete = if(status=="Obsolete", "Obsolete", null)
| eval total = "1"
| chart count(total) as Total, count(assigned) as Assigned, count(inProgress) as "In Progress", count(waiting) as "Waiting for customer", count(accepted) as Accepted, count(declined) as Declined, count(obsolete) as Obsolete​

 

Result:

This second attempt allowed me to color the columns, but I wasn't able to add the labels directly below each single column.

Is there a way to combine both requirements: Having labels directly below the columns as in my first attempt and coloring each column separately as in my second attempt?
