Named Colors Reference#

You can specify a color for theme elements and geometries by its name from the table below.

Example
1np.random.seed(42)
2data = {"x": np.random.choice(["A", "B", "C"], size=20)}
3ggplot(data, aes(x="x")) + \
4    geom_bar(fill="salmon", size=0, tooltips='none') + \
5    theme(plot_background=element_rect(fill="navy"),
6          text=element_text(color="white"),
7          axis=element_line(color="azure"),
8          panel_grid=element_line(color="azure"))

Note

Named colors are case-insensitive and can be written in various formats: LightGreen, lightgreen, light green, or light-green are all accepted and treated equivalently. You can also use either "gray" or "grey" spelling for grayscale colors.
