Set Y axis ticks Red but not grid lines

I am plotting a 2 y axis plot using plotyy. Each point is plotted inside a loop. I want the first Y axis (FM) to have the Y-axis tick numbers in red but not the horizontal grid lines. so is it possible to keep tgridlines blue, but change the numbers on the yaxis to red.

I changed the yaxis 1 label to red OK.

[AX,H1,H2] = plotyy(A,B,A,C,'plot');
 set(H1,'LineStyle','--', 'color', 'r','Marker','*');
 set(get(AX(1),'Ylabel'),'String','FM','FontSize',8,'Color','red');

Thanks Jason

You'll have to use text to write the tick labels to do that, set ting the 'yticklabel' property to []. Or, alternatively, change the 'xgrid','off' and draw the grid lines explicitly in blue letting the axis become red.

ADDENDUM:

A recent thread shows the basics plus some additional niceties of using the TeX interpreter w/ tick labels thus written that can't do w/ the '_ticklabel' property. Plus another poster referenced a File Exchange submittal that may be of interest...

Happened to be for log axes, but that's really immaterial to the solution.
