Change the colors of markers in marginsplot

[Gustav Egede Hansen]

Hi everybody

Is it still not possible to directly change the colors of markers in marginsplot (see "Initially, the marginsplot looks as follows where we are unable to specify more than one color for the markers")?

I have the following data and would like to change the colors of the markers in marginsplot, so they are different when gender is 0 and 1. My real data is confidential, so I have made up some data.

reg educational_attainment gender
margins, at(gender = (0 1))
marginsplot, recast(scatter)

The two colors of interest are: plotopts(mcolor("255 80 80")) and plotopts(mcolor("65 50 130"))
