How can I change the color of each text in a plot?

Hello,

I'm trying to set the color of each text instance in a plot to a different value as shown:

C={[112 48 160], [85 142 213], [250 0 0], [146 208 80]}; %my color values
hcolors=cellfun(@(x) x/255,C,'UniformOutput',false)'; %colors converted to correct scale
set(h,{'Color'},hcolors) %sets the color of each line in h, this works fine
gtext=text(0.55*exes,maxes,{'Color'},hcolors);

However, when I try to set the color of the text according to the values in hcolors, I get the following error:

"Value cell array handle dimension must match handle vector length."

If I instead use

set(gtext,{'Color'},hcolors)

Everything works fine.

Is there a way to get the correct color output all in one line using text()?

This line below should work iff the length of 'h' equal 4.

set(h,{'Color'},hcolors) 
% iff
length(h) == 4

This line below, however, will definitely fail because it does not include any text values. Even when a cell array of string values is added, you cannot assign multiple colors. Multiple colors can be assigned, however, using the method above.

gtext=text(0.55*exes,maxes,{'Color'},hcolors);  % will result in error

gtext=text(x,y,text);  % this should work
set(gtext,{'Color'},hcolors)

Thanks for the help, I accidentally left out the cell array of string values, the line should read

gtext=text(0.55*exes,maxes,txt,{'Color'},hcolors), where txt is the cell array of 4 string values.

Like you said, I still get the error, so I will use set() for the colors.

Yep, that's the way to go!
