No matching constructor for initialization of 'type'

I trying to fix my vector not able to push_back problem but i get this error:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/c++/v1/memory:1456:36: No matching constructor for initialization of 'Point'

here is my code

Class

class Point
{
public:
    int x;
    int y;
    Uint8 r;
    Uint8 g;
    Uint8 b;
    Point(int x, int y, Uint8 r, Uint8 g, Uint8 b) : x(x), y(y), r(r), g(g), b(b) {}
    Point& operator=(Point const &np){
        x=np.x;
        y=np.y;
        r=np.r;
        g=np.g;
        b=np.b;
        return *this;
    }
    Point(const Point& point);
    ;
};

Line maybe cause error:

std::vector<Point> temp(10);

and this also not working:

std::vector<Point> temp;

Please help

here is more error message hope this help:

In the standard library, certain containers "fill in" values using the default constructor when the value is not given explicitly. vector<Point> temp(10) initializes the vector with 10 elements, which are filled with the default-constructed value of your type. But when you have defined this constructor:

Point(int x, int y, Uint8 r, Uint8 g, Uint8 b) : x(x), y(y), r(r), g(g), b(b)
the compiler will not implicitly define a default constructor, so no constructor is available now. You can fix the compiler error by defining another constructor:

Point(){}
