How can I change multiple fields in a nested structure?

I am trying to change the color of plots in a graph through the figure handle. The figure handle is part of a structure of figure handles. Each plot has a marker and a line and the Color property of each marker and line is nested in the structure as follows
plot 1 line color for Figure n: h(n).Children.Children(1).Color
plot 1 marker color for Figure n: h(n).Children.Children(2).Color
plot 2 line color for Figure n: h(n).Children.Children(3).Color
plot 2 marker color for Figure n: h(n).Children.Children(4).Color
etc.
For a given Figure n, I would like to set the Color property for both the marker and line for a plot at once, e.g. I would like to change the color of plot 1 by assigning a single value to h(n).Children.Children(1:2).Color.
Here is my attempt with setfield
h = setfield(h,{12},'Children',{1},'Children',{1:2},'Color',[1 0 0])
But this gives me this error: Error using setfield (line 56) Insufficient number of outputs from function on right hand side of equal sign to satisfy overloaded assignment.

You should be able to do this via set:
set(h(n).Children.Children(1:2), 'Color', [1 0 0]);
