title: words in different colors?

In ?title I see the

plot(cars, main = "")
 title(main = list("Stopping Distance versus Speed", cex=1.5, col="red", 
font=3))

I can't seem to generalize this to use several colors in a single title. 
What I'd like is
in latex-ish

\red{Hair color} \black{ and } \blue{Eye color}

to serve also as an implicit legend for points that are plotted.
