As Martin says, -mcolor()- never takes anything other than something
indicating a single colour. 

So, either you generate the individual graphs using -scatter- and then
-graph combine-, or you distinguish genders in another way. 

Here's another easy solution, if not to your problem: 

. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)

. gen mlbl = cond(foreign == 0, "o", "+")

. graph matrix headroom trunk weight length, ms(none) mla(mlbl)
mlabpos(0)

Seems you are out of luck on this one as the -mcolor- option takes a
single
argument, not a whole vector of them. You could differentiate with the
by
option, though.

sysuse auto, clear
graph matrix price mpg headroom, by(foreign, note("") style(compact))

I need to draw a graph matrix with multiple marker colors. For
example, I want to present males/females by different colors. But the
following does not work:

.graph matrix  x1 x2 x3 x4, mcolor(gendercolor)

I receive:
(note:  named style gendercolor not found in class color, default
attributes used)

How can tell the software that gendercolor is a string variable which
has a color (e.g. black) for males and another for females.
