title: Cannot Color GeoDataFrame points
body: <p>I want to plot locations across Paris and color them by the column type. I also want to plot a legend associated with the location types. I can create the GeoDataframe, plot the locations across Paris. However I cannot specify the color of the points on the map. Additionally I have to create a Legend separately and then apply it to the plot.</p>
  
  <p>How do I get the colors of the plot points to match the legend columns?</p>
