Post title colour change depending on author

I'm trying to set up a blog with multiple authors. The idea is to have each post title a different colour according to who wrote it (so each author has their own colour).

I know that I can change the post title colour according to category with css using '.category- ' but i'm looking for the same sort of solution based on author.

You may be able to select it based on the string of the author if you can somehow select the author as a value of something.

I know that with attribute CSS selectors you can use a string value to search attribute selectors and apply styles that way. I'm not if this would work for that case though.

thanks for the help! I used the '.author-(user_nicename) {}' to change the colour of post titles according to author.
