Greetings!

Apologies on the delayed response. You should be able to do this by passing 
"color" to the `plot_barbs()` method, like:

    skew.plot_barbs(df['pressure'], df['u_wind'], df['v_wind'], color='blue')

All of the styling options available to Matplotlib's `barbs()` plotting method 
can be passed to SkewT's `plot_barbs()`:

Cheers!
