The “upright” rectangle (in the intervals [0, 0.5] and [0, 2]) of points represents the data corresponding to category ""A"". However, it is colored in blue, which corresponds to category ""B"". The order of labels in the legend is correct in the sense that it conserves the order in the Dataset. ![wrong_color_assignment](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42246615/100996305-30155d00-3559-11eb-8d22-360625b977f1.png) In the second image, the color assignment in the plot is correct – data corresponding to category ""A"" is still colored in blue but that now corresponds to category ""A"". The legend is now alphabetically ordered instead of conserving the order the category coordinate in the Dataset. ![correct_color_assignment](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42246615/100996482-63f08280-3559-11eb-9dc4-5af69e9db50d.png)","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,755105132 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/4641#issuecomment-737190620,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/4641,737190620,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDczNzE5MDYyMA==,42246615,2020-12-02T12:09:48Z,2020-12-02T12:09:48Z,NONE,"As my original plot still was wrong after updating I investigated a bit further: The problem persists when also faceting. Here is my new example where, again, data of category ""A"" get colored as ""B"" and vice versa. ```python import xarray as xr import numpy as np u = np.random.rand(50, 2, 2) * np.array([1, 2]) v = np.random.rand(50, 2) * np.array([1, 0.5]) ds = xr.Dataset( { ""u"": ((""x"", ""foo"", ""category""), u), ""v"": ((""x"", ""category""), v), }, coords={""category"": [""B"", ""A""], ""foo"": [1, 2]} ) g = ds.plot.scatter( y=""u"", x=""v"", hue=""category"", col=""foo"" ); ``` I am sorry for the confusion.

We can probably close this issue. However, this seems to be achieved not by changing the colors in the plot but by sorting the legend as well. That is, the order of the category variable in the legend is `[""A"", ""B""]`, although I specified it to be `[""B"", ""A""]` in the dataset.
