A modification of Days of the week - now every day of the week is marked with a separate color:

The DRAW_COLOR_HISTOGRAM style requires two buffers (a buffer of values HistogramBuffer and a color buffer HistogramColors):

Colors are set in the line

//--- define 8 colors for coloring sections
#property indicator_color1  clrCyan,clrRed,clrYellowGreen,clrBlue,clrYellow,clrNavy,clrGold,clrMediumSeaGreen

Here, color clrCyan has index "0", clrRed has index "1", and so on.

Management of histogram colors is implemented by assigning an individual color index to each index of the HistogramColors buffer:

switch(STime.day_of_week)
        {
         case  0:
            HistogramBuffer[i]=0;
            HistogramColors[i]=0;
            break;
         case  1:
            HistogramBuffer[i]=1;
            HistogramColors[i]=1;
            break;
         case  2:
            HistogramBuffer[i]=2;
            HistogramColors[i]=2;
            break;
         case  3:
            HistogramBuffer[i]=3;
            HistogramColors[i]=3;
            break;
         case  4:
            HistogramBuffer[i]=4;
            HistogramColors[i]=4;
            break;
         case  5:
            HistogramBuffer[i]=5;
            HistogramColors[i]=5;
            break;
         case  6:
            HistogramBuffer[i]=6;
            HistogramColors[i]=6;
            break;
        }
