I eventually did it with
b3l = bar(dates, b3, color='#9E73C1', width=4)
b2l = bar(dates, b2, color='#A6DE62', width=4)
b1l = bar(dates, b1, color='#F35E5A', width=4)
b0l = bar(dates, b0, color='#4992DE', width=4)
leg = legend([b3l[0], b2l[0], b1l[0], b0l[0]], ["98,304 -
163,840 Cores", "32768 - 98,303 Cores",
"8,192 - 32,767 Cores", "0 - 8,191 Cores"],
loc="upper left", shadow=True)
but I would be interested in hearing a better way.
