How to set same color for markers and lines in a matplotlib plot loop?

Question

I have to plot multiple lines and markers with matplotlib by creating a loop and I have already set the axes color cycle in the matplolibrc param file. In each cycle of the loop

Answer 1

Note that in matplotlib 1.5 onwards, color_cycle has been replaced by prop_cycler. The first option then needs:

color = next(ax._get_lines.prop_cycler)['color']
