Area Range sectional coloring

I know you can set the "negative" color for a range, but that is just if the numbers go under the hard-set 0. What I'm looking for is to make it so that if the first value of the point goes under the second value of the point, then that is considered "negative", rather than a constant across the whole series.

My specific goal is to compare data for two years, so the point.0 would be year1 and point.1 would be year2. So when the year2 is doing better than year1, that section would be green. But when year2 is lower than year1, that section would be red.

This way I can quick glance at a lot of data and instantly see where the problem areas are.

Sort of like when glancing at a chart like this, but from different logic of what is red/green.
