My geom bar wont change colors: Please help: where is the error

We are limited in how we can help without access to monthly_complaints.

Are you able to provide a reproducible example?

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…

@AfralMansoori

+geom_bar(stat='identity',fill='#f68060', alpha=.6, width=.4)+geom_col(position = "dodge")

you add 2 sets of the bars, one with geom_bar() where you define the appearance and one with geom_col() where you don't. I guess the second one just overlayes the first one (as you don't define something to dodge) and with that you don't see the changes.
Try again without the geom_col().
