Yes, in the sense that when I wrote the message I was just looking at 
seaborn's tutorial showing the default, which is 'deep'--but I didn't 
know it then.

A good case could be made for "dark"; it has better contrast among all 
the colors.  It might be better than "deep" for line plots, especially 
when the lines are thin.

The main point was to get at least one plausible choice on the table.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a colorblind-friendly cycle?  Maybe 
omit the green and tack a gray on the end?  I haven't checked, so I 
don't know if this would work well.

It is common to have plots with two curves, and the present blue, green 
pair is not very high-contrast; having the first two colors be blue and 
red would be better, I think.
