How to change the color of legend in chartjs and be able to add one more legend?

Question

I want to change the color of legend, because I want different colors to represent different situations.But now the legend uses just the first color I set on the bar chart.

I also want to ask, is it able to set one more legend?Like pink is for situationA, blue for B?

Here is the link:

Code is here Can anyone help?Thank you so much.

To set more legends, you need to add multiple datasets. Each dataset will represent one legend and the legend­'s color will automatically be set according to the dataset­'s background color.

Chart.plugins.register({
   beforeDraw: function(c) {
      var legends = c.legend.legendItems;
      legends.forEach(function(e) {
         e.fillStyle = '#07C';
      });
   }
});

var canvas = document.getElementById('myChart');

var data = {
   labels: ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June"],
   datasets: [{
      label: "My First dataset",
      backgroundColor: "rgba(255,99,132,0.4)",
      hoverBorderColor: "rgba(255,99,132,1)",
      data: [65, 59, 20, 81, 56, 55],
   }, {
      label: "My Second dataset",
      backgroundColor: "rgba(25,25,255,0.4)",
      hoverBorderColor: "rgba(255,99,132,1)",
      data: [65, 59, 20, 81, 56, 55],
   }]
};

var option = {
   scales: {
      xAxes: [{
         stacked: true
      }],
      yAxes: [{
         stacked: true,
         gridLines: {
            display: true,
            color: "rgba(255,99,132,0.2)"
         }
      }]
   }
};

var myBarChart = Chart.Bar(canvas, {
   data: data,
   options: option
});
