You will have to take control over the XML file generation.

modules\Charts\Dashlets\OutcomeByMonthDashlet\Outc omeByMonthDashlet.php

inherits

include\Dashlets\DashletGenericChart.php

and uses

include\SugarCharts\SugarChart.php to generate the XML

     function xmlProperties(){    
        // open the properties tag
        $properties = $this->tab("<properties>",1);
        
        // grab the property and value from the chart_properties variable
        foreach ($this->chart_properties as $key => $value){
            $properties .= $this->tab("<$key>$value</$key>",2);
        }
        
        if (!empty($this->colors_list)){
            // open the colors tag
            $properties .= $this->tab("<colors>",2);
            foreach ($this->colors_list as $color){
                $properties .= $this->tab("<color>$color</color>",3);
            }
            
            // close the colors tag
            $properties .= $this->tab("</colors>",2);
        }
        
        // close the properties tag
        $properties .= $this->tab("</properties>",1);
        
        return $properties;
    } 
  

I am not sure that you can force a specific color for a specific value in the charts as it is today, you might have to do some changes to the code
