How to pass character color vector into text()?

[mauera]

When passing in a color vector to a single text() plot, the following error occurs:

TypeError: in new, expected Makie.ScalarOrVector{RGBA{Float32}}, got a value of type Makie.ScalarOrVector{Vector{RGBA{Float32}}}

The code to reproduce this error is

text("hi", color=[:green, :green]

The docs say a char vector can be passed in, but it does not clarify whether it works with a single text string input (as opposed to vector).

It looks like new for GlyphCollection is getting passed a colors::Vector{Vector{ColorTypes.RGBA{Float32}}} instead of a Vector{ColorTypes.RGBA{Float32}}`.

Thanks for your insight. I made the following change in types.jl and it worked,

Added:
colors = typeof(colors) == Vector{Vector{ColorTypes.RGBA{Float32}}} ? colors[1] : colors
