Here is some code I use. Notice the *bar* command. This will control
the color of the bar.
#delimit;
graph hbar ur, over(state_name, sort(rank) label(labsize(medium)))
nofill ytitle("Percent (%)")
title("Neighbor State Unemployment Rates", color(black) span)
blabel(bar, position(inside) format(%9.1f) color(white) size(small)
justification(center) alignment(middle))
bar(1, blwidth(thick) bcolor(red))
graphregion(color(gs15) margin(l-3 b-3))
caption("Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, LAUS Data - July 2006
(Seasonally Adjusted)", span size(vsmall));
Hope this helps.

*****************************************************
Thanks Svend for the test, now it's clear that it's some special error
which
has nothing to do with the code.
I also tried it with Intercooled 9.1 Stata on a XP-Notebook, same thing.
twoway bar count points, color(red)
-> (option color() not allowed - R198)
other graphs:
scatter count points, mcolor(red)
-> works
graph bar count , over(points) bar(1 color(red))
-> works (but of no use for me)
line count points, lcolor(red)
-> (option color() not allowed - R198)
I also did a Stata repair install and checked the color.class and
color-style files.
So I will contact Stata about this, perhaps they have a clue.
Best wishes
