lenend keep only text

Hi all,

I want to put 3 text phrases in a legend wuth red, green, and blue colour respectively (example: 'one' (red), 'two' (green),'three' (blue))

I have seen a similar question here:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/396498-legend-title-only-without-marker-and-lines-of-data#answer_316462

I tried to create the first phrase with red using the following commnads:

dummyh = line(nan, nan, 'Linestyle', 'none', 'Marker', 'none', 'Color', 'none');
legend(dummyh,'\color{red}one')

However I cannot add the next 2

could you help me with that?

thanks

dummyh = line(nan, nan, 'Linestyle', 'none', 'Marker', 'none', 'Color', 'none');
dummyv = line(nan, nan, 'Linestyle', 'none', 'Marker', 'none', 'Color', 'none');
dummyz = line(nan, nan, 'Linestyle', 'none', 'Marker', 'none', 'Color', 'none');
legend([dummyh dummyv dummyz],{'\color{red}one','\color{green}two','\color{blue}three'})

dummyh_1= line(nan, nan, 'Linestyle', 'none', 'Marker', 'none', 'Color', 'none');hold on
dummyh_2= line(nan, nan, 'Linestyle', 'none', 'Marker', 'none', 'Color', 'none');
dummyh_3= line(nan, nan, 'Linestyle', 'none', 'Marker', 'none', 'Color', 'none');


legend([dummyh_1,dummyh_2,dummyh_3], ...
    {'One legend entry to rule them all!', 'Yes that s it!','Does it answer your Question?'})

dummyh_2= line(nan, nan, 'Linestyle', 'none', 'Marker', 'none', 'Color', 'none');
dummyh_3= line(nan, nan, 'Linestyle', 'none', 'Marker', 'none', 'Color', 'none');
