RGB (NeoPixel) Control from Wake Stub

[iD2017]

I have an application whereby a button is pressed to wake the ESP32 from deep sleep, and when it wakes a series of RGB LEDs (Neopixels) are illuminated a particular color. However, there is a delay of 1-2 seconds between button click and LEDs illuminating due to the time it takes for the chip to wake and execute start-up code. Is there any way to turn on RGB LEDs within the wake_stub code to reduce this time lag?
