I am using chart.js to visualize a sort algorithm. So far I've had no problems implementing it. Now I want to change the color of a single Bar in my Chart and I just can't figure out how to do it.
There is a post which should answer my question, however this solution does not work for me.

$(document).ready(function(){
var numbers = [];
//########################---Array Of Random Numbers----########################
function createNumbers(){
numbers = [];
for(var i = 0; i < 6; i++){
var random = Math.floor((Math.random() * 100) + 1);
numbers.push(random);
}
};
//########################---Fill Chart With Array----########################
$('#fillChart').click(function(){

barChart.update();

//########################---Fill Data With Array----########################
function fillData(){

barChart.data.datasets[0].data[i] = numbers[i];
console.log('Data:' + barChart.data.datasets[0].data[i]);

//##############################---Sort Array----###############################

console.log('Sorted');
for(var i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++){

barChart.update();

function shellSort (a) {

for (var i = h; i < a.length; i++) {
var k = a[i];
for (var j = i; j >= h && k < a[j - h]; j -= h)
a[j] = a[j - h];
a[j] = k;
}
}
return a;
}
//##############################---Bar Chart----##############################
var ctx = $('#barChart');
var barChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Element 1", "Element 2", "Element 3", "Elemenmt 4", "Element 5"],
datasets: [{
label: 'Sort',
data: [0,0,0,0,0],
backgroundColor: [],
borderColor: [],
borderWidth: 1
}]
},

});
Try this:
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>
<script>
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
],
borderWidth: 1
}]
},
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{
ticks: {
beginAtZero:true
}
}]
}
}
});
</script>
