You can give an explicit fill style and color for each column of data:

    set style data histogram
    plot 'foo' using 2 lc rgb 'gold' fillstyle solid 1.0 noborder, \
            '' using 4 lc rgb 'purple' fillstyle pattern 1

There is a minor bug in version 4.2 that makes the command sensitive to
the order of the plot options;  you must specify the color first and
the fillstyle second.
