how do I insert a string var in title command using LaTeX/TeX

Greetings,

I've been looking for a solution for the following challenge:

figure(1)
title ('\color{cyan}\WBC  \color{red}RBC  \color{blue}PLT)

displays "WBC RBC PLT" above the plot in fig(1) in the selected colors.

Now I'd like to add the number of events for the 3 subsets in the figure(2) title, but have not been able to figure out how to replace the 'literal' strings WBC, RBC, and PLT with string variables as in

wbcstr = num2str(100);
rgbstr = num2str(1000); 
pltstr = num2str(60);
figure(2)
title ('\color{cyan}\wbcstr  \color{red}rbcstr  \color{blue}rbcstr)

Thanks in advance,

Jan

mytitle = sprintf('\\color{red}%d \\color{blue}%f',5,pi);
title(mytitle)
