DataFrame.plot(subplots=True) forces black-and-white mode regardless of other settings

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(6, 4), index=pd.date_range('20150101', periods=6), columns=list('ABCD'))

plotters = [
    "df.plot()",
    "df.plot(legend=None)",
    "df.plot(legend=None, subplots=True, layout=(2, 2))",
    "df['A'].plot(legend=None)",
    "df['A'].plot(legend=None, subplots=True)"
]

for i, plotter in enumerate(plotters, 1):
    eval(plotter)
    plt.title(plotter)
    plt.savefig('%d.png' % i)
    plt.close('all')

Also, notice how the title is broken in the third image.

Thanks for the report.

This should be fixed in 0.17.0 (#9894). Otherwise reopen attaching pd.show_versions.

I have indeed been running this under Pandas 0.16.2, and I have forgotten to search for existing reports before submitting my own. Thank you for taking time to point me to the fact that the problem has already been fixed.

There is still, however, a problem in the third plot. It looks like the title is associated by default with an axis, which is the bottom-right axis in this case. @sinhrks, do you think I should submit another report specifically on that?
