colors
()[source]¶Deprecated since version 2.1: The colors function was deprecated in version 2.1.
This is a do-nothing function to provide you with help on how matplotlib handles colors.
Commands which take color arguments can use several formats to specify the colors. For the basic built-in colors, you can use a single letter
Alias Color 'b' blue 'g' green 'r' red 'c' cyan 'm' magenta 'y' yellow 'k' black 'w' white
For a greater range of colors, you have two options. You can specify the color using an html hex string, as in:
color = '#eeefff'
or you can pass an R,G,B tuple, where each of R,G,B are in the range [0,1].
You can also use any legal html name for a color, for example:
color = 'red'
color = 'burlywood'
color = 'chartreuse'
The example below creates a subplot with a dark slate gray background:
subplot(111, facecolor=(0.1843, 0.3098, 0.3098))
Here is an example that creates a pale turquoise title:
title('Is this the best color?', color='#afeeee')
