I was just analyzing why 145 colours were listed in matplotlib.colors.cnames instead of the 140 that are apparently "HTML standard" and, although there's a good reason for that, in the process I discovered that an issue reported in 2007 in the mailing list is still outstanding in 1.1.0:
http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00669.html Basically, although there is block of code there to "add british equivs", the master list already has the British 'lightgrey' in it, instead of 'lightgray'. For consistency with all the other cases ('darkgray', 'dimgray', etc) the patch in the message above should be applied, with the result that both "lightgray" and "lightgrey" would be legal, as all the other types of gray already are. Is this something I should just ticket, or is a report here sufficient? Thanks. -- Peter Hansen, P.Eng.
