All legal html color names are supported
>>> plot(x, y, 'o', markersize=10, markerfacecolor='green',
>>> markeredgecolor='red')
Eg
lightblue : #ADD8E6
lightcoral : #F08080
lightcyan : #E0FFFF
lightgoldenrodyellow : #FAFAD2
lightgreen : #90EE90
lightgrey : #D3D3D3
lightpink : #FFB6C1
lightsalmon : #FFA07A
lightseagreen : #20B2AA
lightskyblue : #87CEFA
lightslategray : #778899
lightsteelblue : #B0C4DE
lightyellow : #FFFFE0
# or use aliases for less typing
>>> plot(x, y, 'o', ms=10, mfc='green', mec='red')
# or rgba or hex
>>> plot(x, y, 'o', ms=10, mfc='#008000, mec=(1,0,0,1) )
Colombes> Or perhaps is there some other Python MatPlotLib or
Colombes> other Python module functions that allow variable size
Colombes> plot symbols and variable hue plot colors in Python ?
The scatter command supports markers with varying sizes and colors.

You might want to check out the tutorial and/or the user's guide.
Most of these issues are touched on there.
