Color Graphics Problem

Hi, say I've got an applet that displays values in an array in the form of a bar graph. Each value corresponding to a bar. How can I color one particular bar with a different color from the rest such that the one that is the largest has a different color to the other bars.

the code that displays the graphs in the array is below.
thanks...

public void displayBars (int [] data, Graphics g){
try{

g.setColor(Color.red);
setBackground(Color.white);

int largest;
int yStart = 20;
int yHeight = 200;
int xStart = 20;
int width = 30;
int gap = 10;
int x = xStart;

for (int count =0; count <data.length; count++){
g.fillRect(x, yStart + yHeight- data[count], width,data[count]);
g.drawString(Integer.toString(data[count]),10+x,240);
x = x + width + gap;
}//for
}//try
catch(NullPointerException e){
}//catch
}//displayBars
