How to make a plotly bar graph with the correct value count with python?

Question

data looks like this

A	label
string	negative
string	negative
string	negative
string	positive
string	positive
string	negative
string	positive

I want to make a simple plotly bar chart showing two bars - the count of positive and the count of negative, next to each other, blue and red.

If I do this

fig = px.bar(df, x=df["label"])

then I get this (btw do you know why the colors are muted out of nowhere?):

When I hover it says "count = 1 " I want it to say the actual count.. and I want to make the negative bar red. How do I do that?

plotly has histogram chart type. https://plotly.com/python/histograms/

import io
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px

df = pd.read_csv(io.StringIO("""A,label
string,negative
string,negative
string,negative
string,positive
string,positive
string,negative
string,positive"""))

px.histogram(df, x="label", color="label", color_discrete_sequence=["red","blue"])
