Description
The input argument c isn't changing marker's color when using swarmchart().
rng(1)
x1 = ones(1,100);
x2 = 2 * ones(1,100);
x3 = 3 * ones(1,100);
y1 = 2 * randn(1,100);
y2 = [randn(1,50) randn(1,50) + 4];
y3 = 5 * randn(1,100) + 5;
swarmchart(x1,y1,'red')
hold on
swarmchart(x2,y2,'green')
swarmchart(x3,y3,'blue')
hold off
fig2plotly();
The previous code should plot 3 different series with 3 different marker's color (red, green and blue), however, they're all being plotted with the default plotly colors.
Expected and generated (https://chart-studio.plotly.com/~xarico10/329/#/) plot:

Research direction
Start by running the MATLAB example with three swarmchart() calls and fig2plotly(); then trace the fig2plotly() conversion entry point for swarmchart marker colors. Done means the exported Plotly figure preserves the red, green, and blue marker colors shown in the issue.
