Assign line colors in pandas

Question

I am trying to plot some data in pandas and the inbuilt plot function conveniently plots one line per column. What I want to do is to manually assign each line a color based

Answer 1

Try:

df.plot(color = s.values)

this will assign the colors no matter the scale of the index.

EDIT:

I tried with three columns:

df = pd.DataFrame({'1': [1, 2, 3, 4], '2': [1, 2, 1, 2], '3': [4, 3, 2, 1]})
s = pd.Series(['c','y','r'], index=[1,3,2])
df.plot(color = s.sort_index().values)

and sorting the Series it works.
