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.

Note

Any named color can be made transparent by appending opacity as /a, where a is a value from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (full opaque). For example, "steelblue/0.35" means steelblue with 35% opacity. Percentage opacity values such as "35%" are not supported. See also an example.
