Using colors on bubbles in a matrix view

I am creating a matrix view to organize Possible product features via the RICE model, where effort is plotted across the horizontal axis and value is plotted along the vertical axis. The size of the bubbles corresponds to a custom scoring of customer value. I want to change the colors of the bubble based on an additional value (Product Theme). Is there any way to do this?

Currently, the Jira Product Discovery matrix view doesn't allow you to set bubble colors based on a field (such as "Product Theme"). You can:

Set X (e.g., Effort)

Set Y (e.g., Value)

Set Size (e.g., a customer value score)

...but there's still no fourth parameter for Color by <field> in the bubbles.

The official matrix documentation covers X-axis, Y-axis, filters, and bubble size, but doesn't mention setting colors by field, indicating that the functionality doesn't currently exist.
