R help - May 2003 - color in plot title: title(sub="something", col=4)

Is there a way to specify the color of the main title, the subtitle, or
the axis labels?  I mean, for instance, something like

title(main="cougar", col=2)

For me, the above command produces the color black; that is, the "col"
argument has no effect.

I'm on a Windows 2000 machine with

Thanks for any advice

See ?par. Specifically col.main, col.sub, and col.axis.

Regards,
Sundar

?title says

     ...: further graphical parameters from `par'.  Use e.g.,
          `col.main' or `cex.sub' instead of just `col' or
`cex'.

And it is *really* time you upgraded your 13-month-old R, especially as it 
is a 1.x.0 release.

So why not look up the help on title?
