series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Column).
Marker(ViewBag.Marker).
XName("x").
YName("yValue").
DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource).

};
ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
return View();
}
public class ColumnChartData
{
public string country;
public double gold;
}Custom color palette
You can customize the default color of series or points by providing a custom color palette of your choice by using the Palettes property.
@(Html.EJS().Chart("container").Title("Olympic Medal Counts - RIO").PrimaryXAxis(px => px.ValueType(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ValueType.Category)).Series(series =>
{
series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Column).

}Data point customization
The color of individual data point or data points within a range can be customized using the options below.
Point color mapping
You can bind the color for the points from DataSource for the series using PointColorMapping property.
@(Html.EJS().Chart("container").Series(series =>
{
series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Column).XName("x").YName("y").CornerRadius(cr => cr.TopLeft(10).TopRight(10)).
DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource).PointColorMapping("color").Add();
}).PrimaryXAxis(px => px.ValueType(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ValueType.Category).MajorGridLines(mg => mg.Width(0))).PrimaryYAxis(py => py.LineStyle(mg => mg.Width(0)).MajorTickLines(mg => mg.Width(0)).MinorTickLines(mg => mg.Width(0)).LabelFormat("{value}°C"))
.Title("USA CLIMATE - WEATHER BY MONTH").ChartArea(area => area.Border(br => br.Width(0))).Render()
)public IActionResult Index()
{
List<RangeColorMappingData> chartData = new List<RangeColorMappingData>
{
new RangeColorMappingData { x= "Jan", y= 6.96, color= "red" },
new RangeColorMappingData { x= "Feb", y= 8.9, color = "blue" },
new RangeColorMappingData { x= "Mar", y= 12, color = "orange" },
new RangeColorMappingData { x= "Apr", y= 17.5, color = "aqua" },
new RangeColorMappingData { x= "May", y= 22.1, color = "grey" }
};
ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
return View();
}
public class RangeColorMappingData
{
public string x;
public double y;
public string color;
}Range color mapping
You can differentiate data points based on their y values using RangeColorSettings in the chart.
@(Html.EJS().Chart("container").SelectionMode(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.SelectionMode.Point).Series(series =>
{
series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Column).XName("x").YName("y").CornerRadius(cr => cr.TopLeft(10).TopRight(10)).

}Point level customization
Marker, datalabel and fill color of each data point can be customized with PointRender and TextRender event.
@Html.EJS().Chart("container").Series(series =>
{
series.Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Column).
Marker(ViewBag.Marker).
XName("x").
YName("yValue").

}Title position
By using the Position property in TitleStyle, you can position the Title at left, right, top or bottom of the chart. The title is positioned at the top of the chart, by default.
@Html.EJS().Chart("container").Series(series =>
