Is there a function to return all single letter colors in Matplotlib?

Question

I learnt of matplotlib.pyplot.colors that the basic built-in colors can be represented as a single letter.

• b: blue
• g: green
• r: red
• c: cyan
• m: magenta
• y: yellow
• k: black
• w: white

Is there a function in Matplotlib to return those colors?

Answer 1

The built in colors are available via matplotlib.colors.ColorConverter.colors

>>> print(matplotlib.colors.ColorConverter.colors)
{u'b': (0.0, 0.0, 1.0),
 u'c': (0.0, 0.75, 0.75),
 u'g': (0.0, 0.5, 0.0),
 u'k': (0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
 u'm': (0.75, 0, 0.75),
 u'r': (1.0, 0.0, 0.0),
 u'w': (1.0, 1.0, 1.0),
 u'y': (0.75, 0.75, 0)}
