st: Graph Mean SD of continuous variable over categorical variable - but with a twist

Dear List
I am trying to depict the differences in mean±SD of two continuous
Variables ovar a categorical variable – i have googled the stata-
List history and found this methode:
egen mean = mean(cont), by(cat)
egen sd = sd(cont), by(cat)
gen upper = mean + sd
gen lower = mean – sd
scatter mean cat || rcap upper lower cat
or even
serrbar mean sd cat
But this does not give me the option to change the colour of the
Mean (dot) or the SD (bars) for each group, witch visually would
Be preferable.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you
Lars
