Grouping A Scatter Plot

I have a big matrix (17400X18) as attached where I created their scatters by plotting column (17) vs column (18) as in Figure 1 and Code1. Now there are many dots and I'm trying to group them based on their values from column 9 to 16. I understand it is not a one dimension thing and I want to find a way to present them. So, I filter these data based on their values in column 9 to 16 as below (Code 2 and Figure 2). So, I have three questions as below:
1) Is there a way to do them automatically rather than filter them manually?
2) How can I create more colours for the scatters?
3) I have studied the impact of the column 9 to 16 and I have to do similar study for column 1 to 8, any idea than doing it manually?
%% Code (1)

scatter(MaT_All(:,18),MaT_All(:,17));

You can create more colours by using [r g b] triplets for colour rather than strings like 'r', though I can't remember if you need to prepend those with 'color'. I seem to remember when I do it that it does expect that if you aren't using the string colour representation.
