Customize colors for both legend and axis labels in Stacked column chart

Hi,

 

I am working on a stacked column chart, where I want to customize the colors based on both the legend information and the x-axis information. Here is as far as I've come:

As you can see I have the x-axis split in Budget/Forecast by Month, and in the legend I have "Nature of spending":

What I would like to do, is have the colors be different for Budget and Forecast. It's not very obvious in the current layout, that it's two different columns per month. But I can only speficify the color based on the legend:

Any ideas on how to do this? - Without having to pay for a custom visual developed by third party?

@PSEJR I don't think it is possible at this point to add conditional formatting when you are using legend. Look for an idea on ideas forum and vote for it.
