        final CategoryAxis xAxis = new CategoryAxis();
        final NumberAxis yAxis = new NumberAxis();
        final BarChart < String, Number > bc = new BarChart < String, Number > (xAxis, yAxis);

        bc.setTitle("Country Summary");
        xAxis.setLabel("bars");
        yAxis.setLabel("Value");
        XYChart.Series series1 = new XYChart.Series();

        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            //here i want to change color of bar if value of i is >5 than red if i>8 than blue
            series1.getData().add(new XYChart.Data("Value", i));

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

I created a sample solution.

The solution works by setting the bar's -fx-bar-fill color to a different color based on the value of the bar's data.

final XYChart.Data<String, Number> data = new XYChart.Data("Value " + i , i);
data.nodeProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Node>() {
  @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Node> ov, Node oldNode, Node newNode) {
    if (newNode != null) {
      if (data.getYValue().intValue() > 8 ) {
        newNode.setStyle("-fx-bar-fill: navy;");
      } else if (data.getYValue().intValue() > 5 ) {
        newNode.setStyle("-fx-bar-fill: firebrick;");
      }  
    }
  }
});
