I have a graph with two plot-lines.I need to color the column portion with different color after crossing each plot-lines. But zones makes different column different color not the portion above plot-lone. I have tried Zones & Thresholds but haven't got any solution for column chart.
There are solutions for line chart but they don't work for column chart.

By default Highcharts doesn't support that kind of coloring.
The workaround here is to mimic zones using stacking mechanism and dividing a point into multiple ones that reflect zones. Every series contains points from one zone:
var zones = [{
color: 'green',
start: 0
}, {
color: 'yellow',
start: 30
}, {
color: 'red',
start: 80
}];
//(...)
function prepareSeries(series) {
var newSeries = [],
data = series.data;
series.data = [];
// create separate series for each zone
zones.forEach(function(z, i) {
newSeries.push({
data: []
}); // copy series properties
});
// create new points and add them to new series array
data.forEach(function(p) {
for (var i = 0; i < zones.length; i++) {
var currentZone = zones[i],
nextZone = zones[i + 1],
zoneSeries = newSeries[i];
zoneSeries.color = currentZone.color;
if (nextZone && p.y > nextZone.start) {
zoneSeries.data.push({
x: p.x,
y: nextZone.start - currentZone.start
});
} else if (p.y > currentZone.start) {
zoneSeries.data.push({
x: p.x,
y: p.y - currentZone.start
});
}
}
});
newSeries.reverse();
// one legend for all created series
for (var i = 1; i < newSeries.length; i++) {
newSeries[i].linkedTo = ':previous';
}
return newSeries;
}
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/kkulig/g77od3wr/
linkedTo causes that all series are connected (there's only one legend item). tooltip.shared: true and tooltipFormater are used for restoring the previous formatting of the tooltip (total value instead of all series listed).
