List of named colors
====================

This plots a list of the named colors supported in matplotlib. Note that
:ref:`xkcd colors <xkcd-colors>` are supported as well, but are not listed here
for brevity.

This plots a list of the named colors supported in matplotlib.
For more information on colors in matplotlib see

* the :doc:`/tutorials/colors/colors` tutorial;
* the `matplotlib.colors` API;
* the :doc:`/gallery/color/color_demo`.
