The Numbers Bars does not have a way to do exactly what you are looking to do. The closest to this is to set the Background Type to Full Background and then set the Background Coloring Method to Based on Volume - Actual. The only thing is that the color of the bars in this case is determined by whether it is an Up bar or a Down bar (i.e. is the Close higher than or less than the Open).

What we believe you would want would be an option for the Background Coloring Method to be Based on Dominant Volume - Actual which would then color the bar based on whether the Total Ask Volume is greater than or equal to the Total Bid Volume for the bar, in which case it would use the Up colors (Green). Otherwise, it would use the Down colors (Red).

We will look into whether we can easily add this option. But, we want to make sure that this is exactly what you are looking for. Please respond to this post and let us know. Also, think about whether you would want the Actual Volume shading or whether Percentage values would be more of what you want.
