title: Matplotlib change marker border color AND custom marker styles
body: <p>I am trying to plot a scatter plot in Matplotlib using colors from a list of colors. The code is here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  from matplotlib.lines import Line2D
  import numpy as np
  from pylab import *
  from random import shuffle
  rcParams['legend.numpoints'] = 1
  
  df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10,28),columns=list('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZab'))
  
  markers = []
  for m in Line2D.markers:
      try:
          if len(m) == 1 and m != ' ':
              markers.append(m)
      except TypeError:
          pass
  cust = [r'$\lambda$',r'$\bowtie$',r'$\circlearrowleft$',r'$\clubsuit$',r'$\checkmark$',r'$\spadesuit$']
  styles = markers + cust
  shuffle(styles)
  
  color=['magenta','blue','green','none','brown','red']
  
  for i,column in enumerate(df.iloc[:,1:7]):
      plt.plot(df['A'], df.iloc[:,i], linestyle='None', marker=styles[i], markersize=10, label=column, mfc=color[i], markeredgewidth=1.5)
  plt.legend()
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output is attached here.<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Lc3rf.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>The problem is that the order of colors in the legend is not the same as the order of colors in the list.</p>
  
  <p>I am expecting the following order of colors:
  - magenta, blue, green, none, brown, red</p>
  
  <p><strong>Questions:</strong></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>The order of colors in the plot is not the same as what I specified
  in the list. Is it possible to fix the code so that the colors are
  in the same order? (NOTE: If the marker has no face, then I want the marker edge to have the color from the list)</li>
  <li>From the custom marker list <code>cust = [r'$\lambda$',r'$\bowtie$',r'$\circlearrowleft$',r'$\clubsuit$',r'$\checkmark$',r'$\spadesuit$']</code>, are there more options similar to this? i.e. how can I see a list of similar markers?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
  Here is the resulting plot by commenting out the list of marker styles [i.e. I commented out this line: <code>shuffle(styles)]</code>.
