User-friendly names for plotly CSS colors?

Question

I know that one can view the plotly default color sequence as:

import plotly.express as px

print(px.colors.qualitative.Plotly)

which yields a list of CSS colors:

['#636EFA', '#EF553B', '#00CC96', '#AB63FA', '#FFA15A', '#19D3F3', '#FF6692', '#B6E880', '#FF97FF', '#FECB52']

I can specify a color in plotly by selecting an element from this list. For example:

go.Scatter(x=x, y=y, line={"color": '#636EFA'})

Are there more user-friendly names defined within plotly for these colors, or is CSS color the only way to refer to the them?

Answer 1

Actually yes!

1. For "continuous color scales": (2. For discrete color scales)
