Thanks Bob,
Your solutions are compact. The code below extends your first example to use a long list of XY coordinates and colours in ListPlot.
nbr = 1000
xy = Transpose[{RandomReal[{0, 1}, nbr], RandomReal[{0, 1}, nbr]}]; (* xy data to plot *)
cols = Table[RandomChoice[{Red, Green, Blue}], {i, nbr}]; (* list of colors *)
ListPlot[List /@ xy, PlotStyle -> (Directive[PointSize[0.02], Opacity[0.6], #] & /@ cols)]

Make each point a separate data list and repeat the PointSize:

Although you can use a List instead of Directive:
ListPlot[List /@ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}},
PlotStyle -> ({PointSize[0.02], #} & /@
{Red, Green, Blue})]
Alternatively,
ListPlot[List /@ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}},
PlotStyle -> {Red, Green, Blue},
PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, Medium}]

I'm using Mathematica v9.x on a Mac, with OS X 10.7.5.
Could I ask about something that likely has a very simple solution? I have a list of XY coordinates for say 500 points that will become a scatterplot via ListPlot. I need to assign a colour to each point, using a list of labels (histology, risk, =85).
I've generated ArrayPlot graphics for cases like this for some time. For example, given some labels in column 4 of a 'hist' table:
colours = Table[{
Switch[name = hist[[i, 4]],
"Classical", Green, "Tall cell", Red, "Other", Blue]
}, {i, Length[hist]}];
ArrayPlot[{colours}, AspectRatio -> 0.1, Frame -> False]
For a ListPlot, I'd have thought that something as simple as dropping a list of colours into a PlotStyle Directive would do the job. But the following line plots three blue points, rather than a Red, Green and Blue point.
ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}},
PlotStyle -> Directive[PointSize[0.02], {Red, Green, Blue}]]
Is there a simple way to declare a list of colours in ListPlot? I've looked through the PlotStyle documentation, and apologize if I've missed seeing how to do this.
Thanks very much for your help.
