I have this study below and I would like the bars to change the colors depending on the study. So if the study alert is orange the bar turns orange and if study alert is green bar the above bar turns green.

Thank you

You need to use the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study, but you will need to know what the underlying logic is for the study in order to replicate it to the bars.

Refer to the information here:

I did use color bar based on the slope as Color Bar Based on Alert Condition did got give any results. but it looks like it paint the original bar correctly according to the alert, but then paints the next bar the opposite color with no reason.
Is there anyway to fix it.

If you are using Color Bar Based on Slope then there is no alert condition that is used with that study. It just colors the bar based on whether the slope of the Input data is positive or negative. Refer to the documentation here:
Color Bar Based on Slope

It sounds like you really need to use the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study for what you are trying to do. Refer to the information here:
Color Bar Based on Alert Condition

And refer to the information here for alerts:

I tried to use the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study but I do not know how to write the formula to match my expectations:

If divergence is bullish then bar is green
If divergence is bearish then bar is red.

Is there a way to do this??
