### Color of my plot is not as I defined it

Hi there,

this is probably an easy error by myself, but I am not an expert in LaTeX. I try to plot some simple Data points from a csv file and add a regression function for three different Data sets, which works fine with tikz and pgfplots. But the color I define for the plots does not show correctly. I want the first one blue, the second one red and the third one orange. The regression lines are fine, but on my Data points the marks only have the specified color on the edges and are not filled with it.

\begin{figure}		\begin{tikzpicture}			\begin{axis}		[xmax=2,	xmin=-1.5,	samples=50]				\addplot+	[mark=square*,	color=blue,	only marks]	table	[x=Zyklische				Arbeitslosigkeit,	y=Kerninflation,	col sep=comma]	{data/Infl.csv};				\plot		[blue] plot[samples=100, smooth] 				expression{-1.7073409589*x+8.0008968844};				\addplot+	[mark=square*,	color=red,	only marks]	table	[x=Zyklische Arbeitslosigkeit,				y=Kerninflation,	col sep=comma]	{data/Infl2.csv};				\plot		[red] plot[samples=100, smooth] 				expression{-0.8226914063*x+5.1310272065};				\addplot+	[mark=square*,	color=orange,	only marks]	table	[x=Zyklische				Arbeitslosigkeit,	y=Kerninflation,	col sep=comma]	{data/Infl3.csv};				\plot		[orange] plot[samples=100, smooth] 				expression{-0.1404751478*x+1.8775287948};			\end{axis}		\end{tikzpicture}	\end{figure}

This is my code for the figure.

And this is what I am getting from it.

Sorry if I am doing anything wrong with this post, but I just need some quick help.

Kind regards

We don't have the data that your example reads from the csv files.

Please complete your example to a minimal working example and use the appropriate BBCode ([code] instead of [quote]), the highlighting of which makes reading your source code more pleasant.

The Section 4.7 "Markers, Linestyles, (Background) Colors and Colormaps" of the documentation of the pgfplots package should contain what you need.
