plotting points with different colors

Hi,
I have a MxM matrix RegionsMap whose components are integer numbers between 1 and 4. The element RegionsMap(k,j) represents a point in the complex plane, x(k)+i*y(j) (x and y are vectores I previously defined). I want to plot every one of these complex numbers in the complex plane in such a way that: If RegionsMap(k,j) is 1 I color the associated point in blue, if it is 2 I color the associated point in red,...etc (green and yellow for 3 and 4).
How can I achieve this? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks

something like this maybe?
RegionsMap = randi([1 4],10,10);
x = rand(1,10);
y = rand(1,10);
figure(10);
hold on;
for i=1:10
for j=1:10
switch RegionsMap(i,j)
case 1
plot(x(i),y(j), 'ob');
case 2
plot(x(i),y(j), 'or');
case 3
plot(x(i),y(j), 'og');
case 4
plot(x(i),y(j), 'oy');
end
end
end
hold off;

to fill in the circle, you can replace the plot command with
scatter(x(i),y(i), 'og', 'filled')
If you know there will be at most 10 possibilities, you could just define 10 different cases.
Or you could do like Walter Roberson noted and define a colormap.

scatter() fourth parameter can be a vector of values. Create a colormap with as many entries as values you have. caxis([1,n]) where n is the number of entries. Now value K will be drawn with color from entry #K
