Set color for xticklabels individually in matplotlib

Question

How can I give the labels "a", "b", "c" individual colors (e.g. "a" in green, "b" in blue, "c" in red) in the example below?

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
p = plt.boxplot(np.random.normal(size=(10,3)))
ax.set_xticklabels(list("abc"))
plt.show()

Answer 1

The code:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    p = plt.boxplot(np.random.normal(size=(10,3)))
    ax.set_xticklabels(list("abc"))

[t.set_color(i) for (i,t) in
 zip(['red','green','blue'],ax.xaxis.get_ticklabels())]

plt.show()
