Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I'd like to be able to plot two panels of candles each colored differently. I am unable to use `marketcolor_overrides` to set candle color for `make_addplot()`.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Use `marketcolor_overrides` parameter to set candle color on other panels.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Unaware of any alternatives to do this other than fiddling with external axes.

Research direction
Start by tracing how marketcolor_overrides is handled alongside make_addplot() and how multi-panel candle plots assign colors. Done means marketcolor_overrides can set candle colors on additional panels without requiring external axes.
