The "old" imagechart has one key advantage.  It allows creating column 
charts with ranges for colors.  This is quite effective for a variety of 
reasons, but showing as much data as we do in a chart, color is one of the 
most effective tools of communication.

I've added this chart to my working example, but it has a number of 
limitations such as having zero interaction.  Being able to set a range of 
value to assign color to a column chart is exactly what I'm looking for.  
The biggest drawback to google charts in my experience has been title 
positioning and colors.  I've attached a couple examples so you can see 
what my application is using the same dataset.

It's a no brainer to me that a colored imagechart is more effective than 
having an interactive chart.  Because it's deprecated, will this support be 
added to ColumnChart or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Steve
