You can make linecolor=None and linewidth=None, and then use
matplotlib's rc defaults
from matplotlib import rcParams
def makeplot(self, xvalues, yvalues, linecolor=None, linewidth=None):
if linecolor is None: linecolor = rcParams['lines.color']
if linewidth is None: linewidth = rcParams['lines.linewidth']
plot(xvalues, yvalues, color=linecolor, linewidth=linewidth)
Then you can customize the defaults in the rc file
(http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc) any way you want.
Alternatively, you can also set the defaults in your script
from matplotlib import rc
rc('lines', linewidth=1.0, color='red')
