[Python] How To Plot Multiple Histograms On Same Plot With Seaborn

With matplotlib, I can make a histogram with two datasets on one plot (one next to the other, not overlay).

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import random

x = [random.randrange(100) for i in range(100)]
y = [random.randrange(100) for i in range(100)]
plt.hist([x, y])
plt.show()


This yields the following plot.



However, when I try to do this with seabron;

import seaborn as sns
sns.distplot([x, y])


I get the following error:

ValueError: color kwarg must have one color per dataset


So then I try to add some color values:

sns.distplot([x, y], color=['r', 'b'])


And I get the same error. I saw this post on how to overlay graphs, but I would like these histograms to be side by side, not overlay.

And looking at the docs it doesn't specify how to include a list of lists as the first argument 'a'.

How can I achieve this style of histogram using seaborn?
