I got pretty close to matching, but chose my color as inspired by the candy :).

Few things enrage me as much as the reporting tools in alteryx.
It should not be so confusing, cumbersome, and time-consuming as it currently is to configure a simple bar chart.

 I had to edit the tool xml to force this to zero, why is there not simply a zero option!?!

This was a fun challenge with quite simple data prep. It's good to get a chance to practice the Reporting tools, I don't use them often enough and even learnt how to fix the Y-Axis min and max values.
