Google Chart - Bar Series Title Different Color

Question

I have a chart which has 4 series (Fiddle link below). Currently, it has Title1, Title2, Title3, and Title4. I want to change the different color for each title text name (Not the bar); for example, Title1 is red, Title2 is blue, Title3 is green, and Title4 is black. Is there a way to change all these titles with different colors?

if you want to change the color of the axis labels,
change those manually when the chart's 'ready' event fires,
see following working snippet...

google.charts.load('current', {
    callback: drawChart,
    packages: ['corechart']
});

function drawChart() {
    var array = [
      ["", "Today", "Goal"],
      ["Title1", 4553, 4151],
      ["Title2", 5560, 6150],
      ["Title3", 850, 920],
      ["Title4", 10505, 12320]
    ];

    var data = new google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(array);
    var formatTooltip = new google.visualization.NumberFormat({
        pattern : '#,##0'
    });
    formatTooltip.format(data, 1);
    formatTooltip.format(data, 2);

    var formatShort = new google.visualization.NumberFormat({
        pattern : 'short'
    });

    var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
    view.setColumns([0, 1, {
            calc : function (dt, row) {
              return formatShort.formatValue(dt.getValue(row, 1));
            },
            type : "string",
            role : "annotation"
        },
        2, {
            calc : function (dt, row) {
              return formatShort.formatValue(dt.getValue(row, 2));
            },
            type : "string",
            role : "annotation"
        },
    ]);

    var options = {
        chart: {
          title: ' ',
          animation: {
            duration: 2000,
            easing: "out",
            startup: true,
          }
        },
        chartArea: {right:0
                , width: "80%"
                , height: "80%"
            },
        bar: {
            groupWidth: 55  // Set the width for each bar
        },
        legend: {position:'top'},
        hAxis: {
                format: 'short',
                //title: 'Month',
                textStyle : {
                    bold: true,
                    fontSize: 10 // fontsize for the vAxis label.
                    //color: 'darkblue',
                },
            },
        vAxis: {
                format: 'short',
                title: 'Progress To-Date',
                gridlines: { count: 8 }
            },
        width:320,
        height:300,
        bars: 'vertical',
        colors: ["lightblue", "lightgray"]

      };

    var container = document.getElementById('chart_div');
    var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(container);

    google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'ready', function () {
      var colorIndex = 0;
      var colorPallette = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'black'];
      Array.prototype.forEach.call(container.getElementsByTagName('text'), function (label) {
        if ((label.getAttribute('text-anchor') === 'middle') && (label.getAttribute('fill') !== '#404040')) {
          label.setAttribute('fill', colorPallette[colorIndex]);
          colorIndex++;
        }
      });
    });

    chart.draw(view, options);
}

<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<div id="chart_div"></div>

note: the label color (#404040) is used to differentiate the x-axis labels from the annotation labels...
