MATLAB: set line's color and style order to be applied in parallel

Question

When you set DefaultAxesColorOrder and DefaultAxesLineStyleOrder MATLAB will first cycle through all colors with the first style, then again throug

Amro's approach works well. Just as a note, you don't have to set the defaults to do this. You can do something like this

col = mycolors(); % defines RGB colors scaled to [0,1]

i = 1;
c(:,i) = col.royal_blue; i = i+1;
c(:,i) = col.crimson; i = i+1;
c(:,i) = col.medium_sea_green; i = i+1;
c(:,i) = col.coral; i = i+1;
c(:,i) = col.dark_magenta; i = i+1;

colord = num2cell(c',2);
lineord = {'-' '--' '-.'}'; 

set(h,{'Color'}, colord(rem((1:numel(h))-1,numel(colord))+1), ...
      {'LineStyle'}, lineord(rem((1:numel(h))-1,numel(lineord))+1))
set(h,'LineWidth',2)

Edit: the mycolors() function is home made. I define

colors.maroon = [128,0,0];
colors.dark_red = [139,0,0];
colors.brown = [165,42,42];
...

(the color names are from this http://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.htm). Then I scale them to [0,1] via

c = fieldnames(colors);
for i = 1:numel(c)
    colors.(c{i}) = colors.(c{i})/255;
end
