seaborn.choose_diverging_palette

seaborn.choose_diverging_palette(as_cmap=False)

Launch an interactive widget to choose a diverging color palette.

This corresponds with the diverging_palette() function. This kind of palette is good for data that range between interesting low values and interesting high values with a meaningful midpoint. (For example, change scores relative to some baseline value).

Requires IPython 2+ and must be used in the notebook.

Parameters
as_cmapbool

If True, the return value is a matplotlib colormap rather than a list of discrete colors.

Returns
pal or cmaplist of colors or matplotlib colormap

Object that can be passed to plotting functions.
