Solution from http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/help/07/09/24599.html
adapted for title:
plot(1:10)
title(expression("hair Color" * phantom(" and Eye color")),col.main="red")
title(expression(phantom("hair Color and ") * "Eye color"),col.main="blue")
title(expression(phantom("hair Color ") * "and" * phantom("Eye
color"),col.main="black"))
The trick is to overlay three titles, one for each colour, with the
stuff not in that colour wrapped in a phantom() call to produce the
correct spacing in invisible ink.
There's probably other ways...
