"It would be tremendously helpful if I could have every point have a different color, it doesn't matter which. It would help me determine where each point is plotted on the other figure."
One Way: Sample data example is taken from MATLAB docs
[X,Y,Z] = sphere(16);
x = [0.5*X(:); 0.75*X(:); X(:)];
y = [0.5*Y(:); 0.75*Y(:); Y(:)];
z = [0.5*Z(:); 0.75*Z(:); Z(:)];
figure,scatter3(x,y,z);
% Now plot the same with different colors
figure;
for i=1:length(x)
plot3(x(i),y(i),z(i),'o');
hold on
grid on;
end
