And I had finally figured out how to make it work
colors: [
<?php
$num_counts = count($count);
$on = 1;
foreach($count as $bit => $bit_counts)
{
if($bit == 'STEEL'){echo"'#FF9999'";}
else if($bit == 'STEEL CROWN'){echo"'#FF9999'";}
else if($bit == 'SLIM'){echo"'#9999FF'";}
else if($bit == 'KYMERA'){echo"'#FF2626'";}
else if($bit == 'HYBRID'){echo"'#FF2626'";}
else if($bit == 'EZC'){echo"'#FFFF26'";}
else if($bit == 'EZR'){echo"'#FFFF26'";}
else if($bit == 'EZB'){echo"'#FFFF26'";}
else if($bit == 'EZS'){echo"'#FFFF26'";}
else if($bit == 'RWD'){echo"'#FF9326'";}
if($on != $num_counts)
{
echo ",\n";
}
$on++;
}
?>
],
