The account type is EXP, the chart has been configured with a Variance comparing Actual to Budget calculated as (Actual - Budget).

In a scenario where the actual is less than the budget, this would be a desired Decrease (-) in expense, rendering the variance bar as Green.

However, if the actual is greater than the budget, this is an undesired Increase (+) in expenditure, rendering the variance bar as red.
