I'm not sure this is the right place; it appears to be in the colour sequences section.

agree, @wemi3 Colormaps and ColorSequences are different things, and what you're looking for is at

This seems really useful. Would you consider adding this https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/explain/colors/colormap-manipulation.html#registering-a-colormap and at https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/explain/colors/colormaps.html? Not mandatory, but would be a help. |

@story645 Would I be able to work on the issues that will be spun off? |

@0taj sure - you don't even have to wait for me to make an issue. You can directly create a pull request that adds instructions on seeing all colormaps to the places @jklymak mentioned in #26930 (comment) |
