Hello Sharmila,
You can achieve this functionality in several ways.
The first one is by setting the Legend Display Mode of the bar series to DataPointLabel like this:

<telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>
    <telerik:BarSeriesDefinition LegendDisplayMode="DataPointLabel" />
</telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>

By doing this each bar will be treated like a separate series - it will have a separate label in the legend and will have a different color. You can find additional information on legend display modes in our documentation here.

If you'd like to further customize the colors of the bars you can define your own color palette containing the colors you want for your bars like this:

<telerik:RadChart.PaletteBrushes>
    <SolidColorBrush Color="Red" />
    <SolidColorBrush Color="Green" />
    <SolidColorBrush Color="Yellow" />
</telerik:RadChart.PaletteBrushes>

You can find additional information on styling the series in the styling section of our documentation here.

Another way is through MVVM. You can find example of using MVVM to paint each bar in separate color in our demos here.
