Make colors in plot and imagesc the same

I have devised a visualization of my simulation in MATLAB which looks like this:

simulation

How do I make it so that plot and imagesc use the same colors? I want to be able to look at the legends in the plot and compare that line with the same color in the visualization to the left.

MWE:

field=randi(7,10);
distribution=rand(100,7);

h=figure(1);
set(gcf,'PaperPositionMode','auto')
set(h, 'Position', [500 500 1000 500])
subplot(1,2,1);
imagesc(field);
colormap('copper');
subplot(1,2,2);
plot(distribution);
legend('1','2','3','4','5','6','7')

It's hard to tell how you want the colours to be ordered, but this will change the colormap from the default to copper.

%// sample data
field=randi(7,10);
distribution=rand(100,7);

h=figure(1);
set(gcf,'PaperPositionMode','auto')
set(h, 'Position', [500 500 1000 500])

subplot(1,2,1);
imagesc(field);
colormap('copper');
colorbar
h=subplot(1,2,2);
set(get(h,'Parent'),'DefaultAxesColorOrder',copper(7)) %// set the ColorOrder for this plot

plot(distribution);
legend('1','2','3','4','5','6','7')
