That seems like a great suggestion (without knowing the details of what is really involved). I wonder if that would appease some of the publisher's requirements that Eric mentioned. I vaguely recall seeing CMYK requirements myself in the past, but I can't dig up any of them. I just wonder what *specifically* publishers may require, and whether providing an ICC profile in the PDF or converting rgb colors to cmyk on output (within matplotlib) is the better way to go.
