Metadata color palette

[Dahn-YoungDong]

Hello, I am generating two heatmaps with the same metadata categories, however, each time I generate a graph, the color legend changes. It makes it hard to compare two heatmaps.

Is there a way to manually select a few colors by certain order so that I can have two heatmaps show the same colors of my metadata categories?

Such as red for Ohio, orange for Indiana, yellow for illinois, green, for Wisconsin, so on so forth.

Best,
