This is easily done using Graph Builder.  All you have to do is to define an ordinal or character column that identifies the bin/grouping that you want to have the different bars in the histogram colored together.  Then create the histogram in Graph Builder and drop the bin/grouping column on the Overlay area.

Right now I have a bar for every unique value.
