I have seen the topic on color schemes in taxa barplots, but I'm guess that my question is somewhat different from it (and it has been closed already).
Thank you for any suggestion!
Best regards!

Hey there @arwqiime !
Unfortunately I don't have much of a solution for you, besides exporting to SVG and manually re-coloring in a tool like Illustrator or Inkscape.
I did open up a new issue, though, to track the development of this. Thanks!

**UX Improvement Description**
`barplot` currently cycles discrete color scales… starting from the *least* abundant feature. It would be more intuitive to cycle the colors starting from the *most* abundant feature.
**Current Behavior**
`barplot` currently cycles discrete color scales starting from the *least* abundant feature.
In the screenshot above, we can see that the least abundant feature starts with green between both plots. The only way that the *most abundant* feature will ever be the same between plots is if the same number of features are present.
**Proposed Behavior**
Cycle colors starting from most abundant, rather than least abundant.
**Comments**
1. Ultimately it would be great if we had a `q2:color` directive in metadata, allowing colors to be controlled more explicitly
