The problem here is that there are not 4 weeks in a month.  After
a while the first color will appear in the middle of a month.  If
that's acceptable, then I'd do it something like this:

 -----------------------------------------------------------------
var: barcolor(0);
array: weekcolor[3](0);

if currentbar = 1 then begin {initialize}
   weekcolor[0] = red;
   weekcolor[1] = yellow;
   weekcolor[2] = green;
   weekcolor[3] = magenta;
end;

if DayOfWeek(date) < DayOfWeek(date[1]) then begin
   barcolor = barcolor + 1;  {new week started, cycle bar color}
   if barcolor > 3 then barcolor = 0;
end;

PlotPaintBar(H, L, O, C, "chart", barcolor);
