Highcharts - add a second needle to a VU Meter with a different colour

Question

Is there a way to add a second needle of a different colour to a VU Meter ('gauge') style chart in Highcharts? I know that you can change the colour of the needle per chart using plotOptions:gauge:dial e.g.

plotOptions: {
        gauge: {
            dial: {
                radius: '100%',
                backgroundColor : 'grey'
            }
        }
    }

and I have tried to overlay a second pane and specify individual plotOptions (as per this fiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/jdalton/xfV5k/8/) but without any success

Answer 1

You can use the same options as in plotOptions directly in series:

 series: [{
        data: [{y:-6, color: 'red'}],
        yAxis: 0,
        dial: {
            backgroundColor : 'red'
        }
 }
