How to colour each individual bar with a different colour?

I would like to colour each individual bar with a different colour. Any assistance, please?

My example below:

CoverageArea = [101.1303,0,114.9316,45.2112,116.5973,95.8953];
bar(CoverageArea)
ylabel('Coverage area (m²)');
xticklabels({'\Phi_1_/_2 = 15, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 10','\Phi_1_/_2 = 15, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 40','\Phi_1_/_2 = 30, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 10','\Phi_1_/_2 = 30, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 40','\Phi_1_/_2 = 60, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 10','\Phi_1_/_2 = 60, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 40'})
grid on;

CoverageArea = [101.1303,0,114.9316,45.2112,116.5973,95.8953];
h = bar(CoverageArea);
ylabel('Coverage area (m²)');
xticklabels({'\Phi_1_/_2 = 15, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 10','\Phi_1_/_2 = 15, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 40','\Phi_1_/_2 = 30, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 10','\Phi_1_/_2 = 30, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 40','\Phi_1_/_2 = 60, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 10','\Phi_1_/_2 = 60, (\phi & \psi) =\pm 40'})
grid on;

colors = get(gca(),'ColorOrder') % use whatever colors you want here

colors = 7×3

0 0.4470 0.7410 0.8500 0.3250 0.0980 0.9290 0.6940 0.1250 0.4940 0.1840 0.5560 0.4660 0.6740 0.1880 0.3010 0.7450 0.9330 0.6350 0.0780 0.1840

set(h,'FaceColor','flat','CData',colors(1:6,:)) % set the bars' colors

@Voss Thank you very much dear. I accepted your answer. If you do not mind, may you exaplain how they work these two lines?

colors = get(gca(), 'ColorOrder' ) % use whatever colors you want here
set(h, 'FaceColor' , 'flat' , 'CData' ,colors(1:6,:)) % set the bars' colors

You're welcome my friend.

Sure, the first line

colors = get(gca(), 'ColorOrder' )

is there to create an n-by-3 matrix of doubles, each row of which will be used as a color [R G B] in the next line. I'm using the current axes 'ColorOrder', but you can specify whatever colors you want, e.g.:

colors = [ ...
    0 0 0; ... % black
    1 0 0; ... % red
    0 1 0; ... % green
    0 0 1; ... % blue
    0 1 1; ... % cyan
    1 0 1; ... % magenta
    1 1 0; ... % yellow
    1 1 1; ... % white
    ];

The second line modifies the bar object such that each bar's color is set to one row of colors. Make sure colors has at least as many rows as you have bars. The (1:6,:) takes just the first 6 rows of colors, since there are 6 bars in this case.

@Voss I really appreciate your kindness.
