How can I plot a graph where point colour relies on its value, based on several greater than and less than rules?

I am trying to plot graphs where the points against the Y-axis determine the point itself to be one of five or more colours based on rules such as <0, >0 & <5, >5 & <42 etc.

Here's one way:
y = 10*rand(1, 150);
myColorMap = zeros(length(y), 3);
for k = 1 : length(y)
if y(k) < 3
myColorMap(k, :) = [1,0,0]; % Red
elseif y(k) < 6
myColorMap(k, :) = [1,0,1]; % Magenta
else
myColorMap(k, :) = [0,0,1]; % Blue
end
end
x = 1:length(y);
scatter(x, y, 20, myColorMap, 'filled');
grid on;

Use your conditions to generate a vector of values that you specify as the c input in a call to the scatter function. If your conditions are simply "In the range (a, b)" (with the possibility for one or both of the endpoints to be inclusive) consider using discretize or histcounts to generate the vector.
