I think I know the answer [No] but maybe someone knows of a hack. I’m looking to set differing colors for individual `yticklabels` in #makie

Specifically I’d like to set “icesat2”, “icesat”, “gedi” and “hugonnet” labels to :blue, :green, :purble, and :red

That should work in recent versions due to this PR [Remove color type restrictions for potentially array-valued colors by jkrumbiegel · Pull Request #3826 · MakieOrg/Makie.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3826)
