seaborn.mpl_palette

seaborn.mpl_palette(name, n_colors=6, as_cmap=False)

Return a palette or colormap from the matplotlib registry.

For continuous palettes, evenly-spaced discrete samples are chosen while excluding the minimum and maximum value in the colormap to provide better contrast at the extremes.

For qualitative palettes (e.g. those from colorbrewer), exact values are indexed (rather than interpolated), but fewer than n_colors can be returned if the palette does not define that many.

Parameters:

namestring

Name of the palette. This should be a named matplotlib colormap.

n_colorsint

Number of discrete colors in the palette.

Returns:

list of RGB tuples orclass:matplotlib.colors.ListedColormap
