Managed to do this. Had to:
1. Figure out to use _wanted instead of only compadd
2. Figure out what pattern to give to zstyle:

zstyle ':completion:*:zplugin:*:argument-rest' list-colors
'=(#b)(*)/(*)==1;35=1;33'

When I display $curcontext within _zplugin (after adding -C to
_arguments), it shows: :complete:zplugin:argument-rest. I wonder why
do I need the additional ":*:" before "argument-rest" ? Or even the
first one.
