This is a much simpler solution than anything I'm seeing for answers so far:

 xAxis: {
            categories:[]
        }

.

series: [{
            data: [{name:'Test 1',y:20,color:'red'},
                   {name:'Test 2',y:20,color:'blue'},
                   {name:'Test 3',y:40,color:'green'}]
        }]

Example:

Although unless you have a really good reason for having each bar be a different color, it usually just adds unnecessary visual clutter and you're better off leaving them a single color.

Try this:

xAxis: {
  categories: ['Test', 'Test', 'Test'],
  title: {
    text: null,
  }
},

And in series part:

series: [{
     name: 'Values',
     data: [20,20,40]
},]

Reference.

EDITED:

You are using three group so you need to modify your data format. If you want the different color then try this:

series: [{
         name: 'Values',
         data: [20,0,0]
    },
{
         name: 'Values',
         data: [0,20,0]
    },
{
         name: 'Values',
         data: [0,0,40]
    },]

xAxis: {
            categories: ['Test1', 'Test2', 'Test3']
        }

For the series, this is quite dirty but it works:

series: [{
            name: 'Test1',
            data: [20, 0, 0]
        }, {
            name: 'Test2',
            data: [0, 20, 0]
        }, {
            name: 'Test3',
            data: [0, 0, 40]
        }
