I've been playing with a very similar layout for a bar chart and would offer this suggestion: what about using two different data series with different colors? Use the first data series for the positive values, with the negatives marked as missing data and a second series for the negative values with the positive values marked as missing? That way you could have two different colors assigned to the two series.
It feels like a bit of a hack, but it seems to work and I think it gets closer to the example in your original post.
