How to change bar chart colors for single count

Hi, I wanted to have a bar graph that has different colour for better represention of my dashboard. I do have a search like below"

 

type="request" "request.path"="prod" | stats count by account_namespace | sort - count | head 10

 

I tried adding the "<option name="charting.seriesColors">[0x1e93c6, 0xf2b827, 0xd6563c, 0x6a5c9e, 0x31a35f, 0xed8440, 0x3863a0, 0xa2cc3e, 0xcc5068, 0x73427f]</option>" but I still get a single colour in my bar graph. I believe since i only one series for my query hence the single colour output. 

Is there a way for me to have my bar graph contains multiple colour?

You can do either of these first to turn it to a multiseries chart

| eval namespace=""
| xyseries namespace account_namespace count

OR

| transpose 0 header_field=account_namespace column_name=account_namespace
| eval account_namespace=""

Thanks @bowesmana for your reply and sharing the below. I have now managed to make it multiseries chart by applying you've shared below. However, it is showing the result of all of the account_namespace, is there a way for me to filter the highest 10 count and only shows that?

Your original search will already limit the top 10, as you are doing sort+head, so not sure I understand how you are getting all results?

Yeah, I am a bit confuse as well. Seems like the last part of the query "| sort - count | head 10" does not really do anything. 

So I've modified my search to be like:

type="request" "request.path"="prod/" | stats count by account_namespace | eval namespace="" | xyseries namespace account_namespace count | sort - count | head 10

by using the above, it gives me a result where the account_namespace shows as a column with all the count as the value. In the column it is showing all of it and not only the top 10 that has highest count.

Put my additional SPL - AFTER your original search - you've added it in the middle
