Colormap tool for different axes

I have a GUI with different axes. I wan to be able to change colormaps when I want and for the axes I want.
The idea is to use something as
imcolormaptool
However, this only works for the last generated axes in the GUI Figure. If I try to pass an axes handle I just get the error:
Function IMCOLORMAPTOOL expected its first input argument, HCLIENT,
to be a handle of one of these types:
figure
Instead, its type was: axes.
Is there a way of doing what I want?

Coloprmap is a property of Figure. Thus, all axes of a figure share the same colormap at any point in time. imcolormaptool helps you change the colormap of a figure - and all its child-axes.

No you cannot
The Choose Colormap tool is an interactive colormap selection tool that
allows you to change the colormap of the target (current) **figure** by
selecting a colormap from a list of MATLAB colormap functions or
workspace variables, or by entering a custom MATLAB expression.
"freezeColors / unfreezeColors [...]Converts colors of many graphics [...] to [r g b] truecolor." Thus, the axes use true-color, not the colormap. The figure still has only one colormap.
