<search>
<query> index=avf-res-app code=all* OR code =ma21rt  source=*application* |eval ipl=code+"_"+host_ip 
|stats avg(responseTime) as Avg_Rep by ipl, code |sort by Avg_Rep desc  |where Avg_Rep > 1000 |eval Avg_Rep = round(Avg_Rep, 2)</query>

<earliest>-1d@d</earliest>
<latest>now</latest>
</search>
<option name="charting.axisTitleX.visibility">collapsed</option>

<option name="charting.axisTitleY.visibility">collapsed</option>

Hi @Harish2 

field clours apply only to filed names, not the vlaues inside it,
in this case you need to apply clour for each code value, need to modify query to get that,

 index=avf-res-app code=all* OR code =ma21rt  source=*application* |eval ipl=code+"_"+host_ip 
| eval CodeA =case(code="codeA","CodeA")
| eval CodeB =case(code="codeA","CodeB")
|stats avg(responseTime) as Avg_Rep   , by ipl, CodeA CodeB |sort by Avg_Rep desc  |where Avg_Rep > 1000 |eval Avg_Rep = round(Avg_Rep, 2)

add below line in XML 

<option name="charting.fieldColors">{"CodeA ":0x65A637, "CodeB ":0xFFBF00}</option>
