Matplotlib has support for visualizing information with a wide array of colors and colormaps. The color tutorials cover the basics of specifying colors, as well as the range of options for blending the colors of overlapping artists. The colormap tutorials cover the basics of how colormaps look, how you can create your own, and how you can customize colormaps for your use case.
