Unfortunately it is not possible to dynamically change the bar colors based on the data set. Please feel free to Submit a Product Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Hello @Umesh Shah
I made a video showing you how to do this, check it out here. Note that I ended up making a report to feed the chart as opposed to the Source sheet to prevent series loss (so I recommend you do this as well).
To make this work, you need to:
- Create separate columns for positive/negative values,
- Use formulas to pull in values to the appropriate column,
- Reference these columns in your chart and apply the formatting you would like to each column.
You can view the dashboard and interact with the chart here.
