If your chart has negative value PowerPoint by default uses the same fill color for negative values in any chart (see Figure 1) -- you can anyhow override that with a convenient Invert if Negative option that we explored towards the end of the Changing Fills and Outlines of Charts tutorial.

To use the Invert if Negative option you must have a chart that has negative values, as shown in Figure 1 above.
