Format axes in plot

Is it possible to color a single number (or a set of numbers) on one of the axes in Matlab?

Suppose I have a plot:

plot(1:10, rand(1,10))

Now, can I e.g. make the number 3 on the x-axis red?

Thanks!

try plot(1:10, rand(1,10), 'ForegroundColor','Red')

as for one number not too sure

Searching in the FileExchange for "tick label" finds a lot of interesting methods, e.g. http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/36254-ticklabelformat-set-a-dynamic-format-of-axes-tick-labels. This will not solve the problem directly, but it contains enough details.
