How do I use seaborn's lmplot to show a colobar for hue, instead of exact values?

Question

I'm trying to get my seaborn plot to look something like this:

If I use lmplot with the z-axis for the hue, I get this:

The lmplot in the picture is basically what I want, but I need the colorbar on the right side instead of the actual values.

I tried to do this with a heatmap, but the data plot was worse that way due to the large gaps between samples.

Thanks for any help!

You should use plt.scatter. The hue parameter in lmplot only accepts categorical variables.
