Default Axis Label Color

If I have a list of X-Axis labels, how do I go about changing the formatting
of a couple of the labels without changing the rest? Thanks!

I tried to hold down the control key and click the axis labels, but it will
not let me select individual labels. Any more suggestions?

Axis tick labels cannot be formatted individually, other than to a tiny
extent using custom number formats:

To gain control over axis tick labels, replace them with a hidden series and
data labels from that series:
