This is documented. See
Cox, N.J. 2011. Stata tip 102: Highlighting specific bars. Stata
Journal 11(3): 474-477.
Example code:
separate price, by(rep78 == 3)
graph hbar (mean) price0 (mean) price1 , over(rep78) bar(1,
color(blue)) bar(2, color(yellow)) ///
nofill legend(off) b2title(`: var label price') l1title(`: var label rep78')
