Description

I'd like to the color of a few specific variables in my mcmc_area() plot to be one color, while the rest are another color. Referencing your plot from the Posterior uncertainty intervals vignette, say I wanted only the pars = "cyl" posterior distribution in blue, and the rest ("drat", "am", "sigma"), still in red. Is this already possible and I'm failing to figure it out? Thank you for your beautiful and helpful package!

Research direction

Start with the mcmc_area() entry point and the Posterior uncertainty intervals vignette referenced in the issue. Inspect how colors are assigned for the pars argument and determine whether selected parameters can receive a distinct color. Done means cyl is shown in blue while drat, am, and sigma remain red.
