2014a version
figure hold plot(a,b) plot(c,d)
The colors of two lines are same pure blue.
Why doesn't color change? How can I fix this issue?
Thanks
MATLAB: My matlab is using same color in drawing multiple lines in figure

With the latest version of Matlab there is no difference, hold all will be removed in the futur
The behavior seen in MATLAB R2014b is due to a new color order. The details are explained below:
Starting in R2014b, MATLAB® graphics has a new color order that determines the colors used in plots. This is the color order introduced in R2014b and the RGB triplet values that define the colors:
0 0.4470 0.7410
0.8500 0.3250 0.0980
0.9290 0.6940 0.1250
0.4940 0.1840 0.5560
0.4660 0.6740 0.1880
0.3010 0.7450 0.9330
0.6350 0.0780 0.1840
This is the color order in R2014a and earlier.
0 0 1.0000 0 0.5000 0 1.0000 0 0 0 0.7500 0.7500 0.7500 0 0.7500 0.7500 0.7500 0 0.2500 0.2500 0.2500The 'ColorOrder' property of the axes contains the color order. To change the color order, set a different default value for the 'ColorOrder' property. For example, this code sets the default color order to the colors used in previous releases. An enhancement request has been submitted to make it easier to go back to the previous release color order.co = [0,0,1; 0,0.5,0; 1,0,0; 0,0.75,0.75; 0.75,0,0.75; 0.75,0.75,0; 0.25,0.25,0.25];set(groot,'defaultAxesColorOrder',co);The hold Command Cycles Through Colors
In previous releases, the 'hold on' command does not retain the current color so new plots added to the axes start from the beginning of the color order. Visually, this means that new plots use the same initial color. Starting in R2014b, the 'hold on' command retains the current color so that new plots added to the axes use the next colors in the color order.
For example, this code displays three lines using the 'hold on' command.
plot(1:10);hold onplot(11:20);plot(21:30);hold offIn R2014a and earlier, the lines use the first color from the color order.
Starting in R2014b, the lines cycle through the color order.
If you want to plot multiple lines using the same color in R2014b, then set the Color property for each line to the same value. For example, plot the three lines using the same RGB triplet color value.
rgbcolor = [0 0.447 0.741];plot(1:10,'Color',rgbcolor);hold onplot(11:20,'Color',rgbcolor);plot(21:30,'Color',rgbcolor)hold off
