javascript - How to change colours for Angular-Chart.js

Question

I use Angular-Chart.js (the AngularJS Chart.js version) to create a bar chart. The Chart is working with the options except for the colours.

Even if I set them it is indicated in the documentation, they stay grey.

<div class="graph-display" ng-controller="chartController">
    <canvas class="chart chart-bar"
    data="bilans.data"
    labels="bilans.labels"
    series="bilans.series"
    options="{
        scaleShowHorizontalLines: true,
        scaleShowVerticalLines: false,
        tooltipTemplate: '<%= value %> $',
        responsive: true
    }"
    colours="{
    fillColor: 'rgba(47, 132, 71, 0.8)',
    strokeColor: 'rgba(47, 132, 71, 0.8)',
    highlightFill: 'rgba(47, 132, 71, 0.8)',
    highlightStroke: 'rgba(47, 132, 71, 0.8)'
    }"
    ></canvas>
</div>

Actually, the options are working but the colours are not. Am I doing something wrong?

Your should declare colours object as an array

"colours": [{
    fillColor: 'rgba(47, 132, 71, 0.8)',
    strokeColor: 'rgba(47, 132, 71, 0.8)',
    highlightFill: 'rgba(47, 132, 71, 0.8)',
    highlightStroke: 'rgba(47, 132, 71, 0.8)'
}];
