Changing uiaxes title color with button press

I added a "dark mode" button to my code. Im sure there is a way do this a bit better than I have but I a function with two radial buttons, a light mode and dark mode. When dark mode is clicked the color for everything in the uifigure flips color, typically from white to black or vis versa. I have other buttons that graph stuff, I have a uiaxes figure with a title and for some reason I havent foun a way to change the color. I want to do this in an if loop, below is how I am doing it with the x and y axes. I looked through the uiaxes options extensivly an couldnt find a way to change the color of just the title. Heres how I am doing it for the axes:

        if rb1_option == 1
            ax.XColor = [0 0 0];
            ax.YColor = [0 0 0];
        end
        
        if rb2_option == 1
            ax.XColor = [1 1 1];
            ax.YColor = [1 1 1];
        end

This works well for the axes. Any one know of a way to change the title color? Thanks!

ax.Title.Color = [0 0 1]; % or whatever color you like

You're welcome!

The important thing to realize is that ax.Title refers to the text object that is the title. So you can set any property of the title by using the syntax "ax.Title.<property> = <value>", e.g.:

ax.Title.Visible = 'off';
ax.Title.EdgeColor = 'b';
ax.Title.LineStyle = '--';
ax.Title.VerticalAlignment = 'top';
ax.Title.Interpreter = 'latex';
% etc.

Here's a list of all text object properties:
