<p>Matplotlib recognizes the following formats to specify a color:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>an RGB or RGBA (red, green, blue, alpha) tuple of float values in closed
interval <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[0,</span> <span class="pre">1]</span></code> (e.g., <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(0.1,</span> <span class="pre">0.2,</span> <span class="pre">0.5)</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(0.1,</span> <span class="pre">0.2,</span> <span class="pre">0.5,</span> <span class="pre">0.3)</span></code>);</li>
<li>a hex RGB or RGBA string (e.g., <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'#0f0f0f'</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'#0f0f0f80'</span></code>;
case-insensitive);</li>
<li>a shorthand hex RGB or RGBA string, equivalent to the hex RGB or RGBA
string obtained by duplicating each character, (e.g., <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'#abc'</span></code>, equivalent
to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'#aabbcc'</span></code>, or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'#abcd'</span></code>, equivalent to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'#aabbccdd'</span></code>;
case-insensitive);</li>
<li>a string representation of a float value in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[0,</span> <span class="pre">1]</span></code> inclusive for gray
level (e.g., <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'0.5'</span></code>);</li>
<li>one of the characters <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{'b',</span> <span class="pre">'g',</span> <span class="pre">'r',</span> <span class="pre">'c',</span> <span class="pre">'m',</span> <span class="pre">'y',</span> <span class="pre">'k',</span> <span class="pre">'w'}</span></code>, which
are short-hand notations for shades of blue, green, red, cyan, magenta,
yellow, black, and white. Note that the colors <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'g',</span> <span class="pre">'c',</span> <span class="pre">'m',</span> <span class="pre">'y'</span></code> do not
coincide with the X11/CSS4 colors. Their particular shades were chosen for
better visibility of colored lines against typical backgrounds.</li>
<li>a X11/CSS4 color name (case-insensitive);</li>
<li>a name from the <a class="reference external" href="https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/">xkcd color survey</a>, prefixed with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'xkcd:'</span></code> (e.g.,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'xkcd:sky</span> <span class="pre">blue'</span></code>; case insensitive);</li>
<li>one of the Tableau Colors from the 'T10' categorical palette (the default
color cycle): <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{'tab:blue',</span> <span class="pre">'tab:orange',</span> <span class="pre">'tab:green',</span> <span class="pre">'tab:red',</span>
<span class="pre">'tab:purple',</span> <span class="pre">'tab:brown',</span> <span class="pre">'tab:pink',</span> <span class="pre">'tab:gray',</span> <span class="pre">'tab:olive',</span> <span class="pre">'tab:cyan'}</span></code>
(case-insensitive);</li>
<li>a "CN" color spec, i.e. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'C'</span></code> followed by a number, which is an index into
the default property cycle (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><a class="reference external" href="../../tutorials/introductory/customizing.html?highlight=axes.prop_cycle#a-sample-matplotlibrc-file"><span class="pre">rcParams["axes.prop_cycle"]</span></a></code> (default: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cycler('color',</span> <span class="pre">['#1f77b4',</span> <span class="pre">'#ff7f0e',</span> <span class="pre">'#2ca02c',</span> <span class="pre">'#d62728',</span> <span class="pre">'#9467bd',</span> <span class="pre">'#8c564b',</span> <span class="pre">'#e377c2',</span> <span class="pre">'#7f7f7f',</span> <span class="pre">'#bcbd22',</span> <span class="pre">'#17becf'])</span></code>)); the indexing is intended
to occur at rendering time, and defaults to black if the cycle does not
include color.</li>
</ul>
<p>"Red", "Green", and "Blue" are the intensities of those colors, the combination
of which span the colorspace.</p>
<p>How "Alpha" behaves depends on the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zorder</span></code> of the Artist. Higher
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">zorder</span></code> Artists are drawn on top of lower Artists, and "Alpha" determines
whether the lower artist is covered by the higher.
If the old RGB of a pixel is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RGBold</span></code> and the RGB of the
pixel of the Artist being added is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RGBnew</span></code> with Alpha <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">alpha</span></code>,
then the RGB of the pixel is updated to:
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">RGB</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">RGBOld</span> <span class="pre">*</span> <span class="pre">(1</span> <span class="pre">-</span> <span class="pre">Alpha)</span> <span class="pre">+</span> <span class="pre">RGBnew</span> <span class="pre">*</span> <span class="pre">Alpha</span></code>. Alpha
of 1 means the old color is completely covered by the new Artist, Alpha of 0
means that pixel of the Artist is transparent.</p>

<span id="xkcd-colors"></span><h2>xkcd v X11/CSS4<a class="headerlink" href="#xkcd-v-x11-css4" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The xkcd colors are derived from a user survey conducted by the
webcomic xkcd. <a class="reference external" href="https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/">Details of the survey are available on the xkcd blog</a>.</p>
<p>Out of 148 colors in the CSS color list, there are 95 name collisions
between the X11/CSS4 names and the xkcd names, all but 3 of which have
different hex values. For example <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'blue'</span></code> maps to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'#0000FF'</span></code>
where as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'xkcd:blue'</span></code> maps to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'#0343DF'</span></code>. Due to these name
collisions all of the xkcd colors have <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'xkcd:'</span></code> prefixed. As noted in
the blog post, while it might be interesting to re-define the X11/CSS4 names
based on such a survey, we do not do so unilaterally.</p>
<p>The name collisions are shown in the table below; the color names
where the hex values agree are shown in bold.</p>
