Is it possible to customize a plot title color and/or font?

For instance, if my plot title is ‘Crosby 87’ I would like ‘Crosby’ to be just normal text but ‘87’ to be either bold or a given color.

I found my answer here [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46512682/how-to-set-the-bold-font-style-in-plotly](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46512682/how-to-set-the-bold-font-style-in-plotly)

Basically just go with html code and surround 87 with the bold tag **:**

layout = go.Layout(title='Crosby `<b>87</b>` ')
