Matplotlib + Seaborn - two lines with the same color?

Question

I'm stuck on what is likely a simple thing. I'm using the default seaborn color palette in Matplotlib. I want to plot two lines that have the same color AND I want to define that color. I would like to use the colors that are part of the default seaborn palette, i.e. I'd like the seaborn red instead of the Matplotlib default red.

Here's my code snippet:

import pylab as plot
import seaborn

t = np.arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
s = np.sin(2*np.pi*t)
plt.plot(t, s, 'r')
plt.plot(t, 2*s, 'r')

If I use the above code, I get Matplotlib's default red (as expected). Is there any "easy" way to tell it seaborn's red? If I don't define the colors, the colors will cycle through seaborn's default color cycle. Thanks!

In seaborn 0.6 or later, you can call seaborn.set_color_codes() or seaborn.set(color_codes=True) and "r" will be interpreted as the default seaborn red.
