I initially read like Ted did :) Here is a simple demonstration of Ben's
explanation:
x = np.arange(0,10,0.1)
y1 = np.sin(x)
y2 = np.cos(x)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
p1, = ax.plot(x, y1, label="y1")
p2, = ax.plot(x, y2, label="y2")
leg = ax.legend()
text1, text2 = leg.get_texts()
# this part can be turned into a loop depends on the number of text objects
text1.set_color(p1.get_color())
text2.set_color(p2.get_color())
plt.show()
