  You have to set LabelColor for changing the bar color.

  //colors array...
  Color[] colors = new Color[] { Color.Red, Color.Green, Color.Wheat, Color.Gray };
  foreach (Series series in Chart1.Series)
  {
      foreach (DataPoint point in series.Points)
      {
          //Set color for the bar
          point.LabelBackColor = colors[series.Points.IndexOf(point)];
      }
  }

  Make sure that your color array has same number of items as the Series DataPoints collection.
