Is it possible to change the caption color in a single figure without changing the color labels of other figures?

I have used this code Change color of figure caption text but every figure is changing its color. I want to do it for only one figure.

My code is mainlyfrom Change color of figure caption text

documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report}

usepackage{xcolor}

usepackage{caption}

usepackage[labelfont={color=red}]{caption}



begin{document}



chapter{Test chapter}



begin{figure}

centering

A

caption{Test figure A}

end{figure}



begin{figure}

centering

B

caption{Test figure B}

end{figure}



end{document}

In my point of view captionsetup{labelfont={color=blue}} etc. in the local environment is sufficient:

documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report}

usepackage{xcolor}

usepackage[labelfont={color=red}]{caption}



begin{document}



chapter{Test chapter}



clearpage



begin{figure}

captionsetup{labelfont={color=blue}}

A

caption{Test figure A}

end{figure}



begin{figure}

B

caption{Test figure B}

end{figure}



end{document}

Here's a start. For the caption itself, you could do as the comments suggest and place a textcolor in the caption argument. The number (like "1.2" is contained in thefigure, while the descriptor word "Figure" is kept in figurename.

kolygr correctly points out that I don't really need to renew thefigure, because the color change applied before figurename will carry through. I will leave the code as is though, in case one gets ideas about changing figurename and thefigure to two separate colors.

documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report}

usepackage{xcolor}

usepackage{caption}

usepackage{caption}

letsvthefigurethefigure

letsvfigurenamefigurename

newcommandfigcolor[1]{%

  renewcommandthefigure{bfseriessffamilycolor{#1}svthefigure}

  renewcommandfigurename{bfseriessffamilycolor{#1}svfigurename}

}

begin{document}



chapter{Test chapter}



begin{figure}

centering

A

caption{Test figure A}

end{figure}

begin{figure}

figcolor{blue}

centering

B

caption{Test figure B}

end{figure}

begin{figure}

centering

B

caption{Test figure B}

end{figure}



end{document}

kolygr also points out that the above code will retain the color in ref attributes. That can be avoided by storing the figure markup in a separate markup macro, and protecting it so that the expansion (with color) doesn't get written to the aux file:

documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report}

usepackage{xcolor}

usepackage{caption}

usepackage{caption}

letsvthefigurethefigure

letsvfigurenamefigurename

renewcommandthefigure{protectmyfigmarkupsvthefigure}

renewcommandfigurename{protectmyfigmarkupsvfigurename}

letmyfigmarkuprelax

newcommandfigcolor[1]{%

  defmyfigmarkup{bfseriessffamilycolor{#1}}%

}

begin{document}

In Figure~ref{fg1.2}...
