Description
Describe the problem
When doing raw.plot_psd(picks=...), with multiple axes, and then running plt.legend(), the different colors do not show up sufficiently on the legend.
Describe your solution
Add labels to each plot on plot_psd, so ax.legend() will catch these.

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation of raw.plot_psd and inspect how plots are created when picks contains multiple axes. Check how ax.legend() receives labels, then verify that each plotted selection is represented distinctly in the legend and that existing plot_psd behavior remains unchanged.
