Annotation Color Does not Match bar Color (it is automatically darker)

[Siddharth Dalal]

In a bar chart, I'm adding bars of different colors based on the values

chartDataTable.addRow([key, percentChange, 'color:' + (percentChange < 0 ? downColor : upColor), percentChange]);

And The bars are drawn the correct colors. However the annotations are not:

annotations: {

                            alwaysOutside: true,

                            textStyle: {

                                fontName: 'Roboto',

                                fontSize: 13,

                                bold: true,

                                italic: false

                            }

                        }

The bar colors are:

#FF3232 and #28BF00

Instead of the annotations having the same colors, they get:

#b32323 and #1c8600

If I turn highContrast to false, the annotations turn into some kind of blue.

Is there some way to have the annotations be the same color as the bar?

Thanks!
