Specifying the colour of a scatter plot

Hi everyone,

I am trying to plot a scatterplot but I want the colours to be .. specific.

I am using this function:

scatter (x, y, 'filled', 'MarkerEdgeColor',[.255, .66, 0], 'MarkerFaceColor',[.255, .66, 0]);

as I found this to be the correct command online but the colour that I get is not what I think I specify... the colour I need in RGB is 255 66 0 and the one that is being plotted here is some weird green.. do you have any ideas what could be wrong ?

Another thing: I wanted to remove the numbers from the y-axis and put labels on them. For example -2 would be disagree, -1 would be slightly disagree, -0.03 would be just slightly disagree and 0.03 would be just slightly agree... etc. Because the distances between these points isn't the same I am having a hard time specifying this in Matlab, do you know how to go about this?

Try:

scatter (x, y, 'filled', 'MarkerEdgeColor',[255, 66, 0]/255, 'MarkerFaceColor',[255, 66, 0]/255);

to change tick labels for y-axis:

 a = gca;
 a.YTick = [-2,-1,-0.03,0.03,1,2];
 a.YTickLabel = {'Label1','Label2','Label3','Label4','Label5','Label6'}';

I hope it helps !
