Description
I have defined two vectors of colors (col1, col2) and I want to apply each color vector to two corresponding traces inside my plot using the colors parameter. But, Plotly ignores col2 and uses col1 for both traces.
col1 <- c("#e65353", "#62e653", "#53a4e6", "#53e6da", "#e6b053")
col2 <- c("#b72b7f", "#2ba5b7", "#3e8236", "#f87b60", "#000000")
iris %>%
plot_ly() %>%
add_trace(x = ~Sepal.Length, y = 0.3, color = ~Species, colors = col1) %>%
add_trace(x = ~Sepal.Width, y = 0.6, color = ~Species, colors = col2)

Research direction
Start by running the reproducible R example with iris, plot_ly(), and two add_trace() calls using col1 and col2. Trace how the colors parameter is handled across multiple traces; done when the second trace uses col2 rather than col1.
