css - How can I change color of bootstrap progress bar with custom color

Question

How can I change the color of a Bootstrap progress bar without losing the text? I have seen this answer:

$('#pb').css({
    'background-image': 'none',
    'background-color': 'red'
});

It works, but I lose any text in the progress bar.

Using Bootstrap 3.2.0, you can do something like the following:

$(function() { 
   $("#one").addClass("progress-bar-purple");
   $("#two").addClass("progress-bar-orange");
});

.progress-bar-purple {
      background-color: purple !important;
}
.progress-bar-orange {
      background-color: orange !important;
}

<script src="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div class="progress">
  <div id="one" class="progress-bar" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="60" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: 60%;">
    60%
  </div>
</div>
<div class="progress">
  <div id="two" class="progress-bar progress-bar-striped" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="80" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: 80%;">
    80%
  </div>
</div>
