The scatter3() syntax is
scatter3(x, y, z, SIZE, COLOR, LINESPEC)
SIZE can be a scalar, or can have one entry for each x value, or can be [] to use default size.
COLOR can be a scalar, or can be a 1 x 3 vector of RGB, or can be a N x 1 vector where N is the number of entries in x, or can be an N x 3 array where N is the number of entries in x.
In your case you would probably use deltaCycLimit or deltaCycLimit(:) for your COLOR information.
