Thanks for the suggestion -- I did this automagically with
# add british equivs
for k, v in cnames.items():
if k.find('gray')>=0:
k = k.replace('gray', 'grey')
cnames[k] = v
Note that in pylab, you can get some extra information by doing
>>> help(colors)
colors()
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 builtin colors, you can use a
single letter
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, like 'red',
'burlywood' and 'chartreuse'
The example below creates a subplot with a dark
slate gray background
subplot(111, axisbg=(0.1843, 0.3098, 0.3098))
Here is an example that creates a pale turqoise title
title('Is this the best color?', color='#afeeee')
