How to I obtain the `n` -th color of the color cycle in literal value? I know I can do `Cycled(n)` , but how do I get its value? Like `"#abcdefg"` or whatever it is.

I think you can just access the `palette` attribute of the corresponding axis, see [here](https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/documentation/theming/#palettes).
