cycle provides. Selecting individual colors from one of the provided colormaps can be a
convenient way to do this.

Once we have hold of a `.Colormap` instance, the individual colors can be accessed
by passing it an index. If we want a specific number of colors taken at regular
intervals from a continuous colormap, we can create a new colormap using the
`~.Colormap.resampled` method.
We can retrieve colors from any `.Colormap` by calling it with a float or a list of
floats in the range [0, 1]; e.g. ``cmap(0.5)`` will give the middle color. See also
`.Colormap.__call__`.

For more details about manipulating colormaps, see :ref:`colormap-manipulation`.
