Format Visuals Bar Color

Hi, 

I am unable to perceive the color alterations made to the visuals.
When attempting to switch from the default colors to the desired color code, the changes fail to take effect.
This issue seems to be occurring specifically with column and bar charts.

Instead of applying the required color code to the visual's color field, it did not have any effect.

@Anonymous , if you are trying to change the theme and you have already done some manual changes, first reset those, then only it will pick up theme changes

 @amitchandak,
I haven't applied any theme, and even after resetting it to default, the issue persists.
