[AstroPy] matplotlib's pie colors

[Grigoris Maravelias]

Thanks Jon! I did contacted the matplotlib list, although we didn't 
conclude to something solid so I decided to change the plan and go for a 
bar plot instead of the pie diagram (thanks to another answer which has 
been really clarifying)

Thanks for your response too!

Wishes

Grigoris
