seaborn.choose_colorbrewer_palette

seaborn.choose_colorbrewer_palette(data_type, as_cmap=False)

These palettes are built into matplotlib and can be used by name in many seaborn functions, or by passing the object returned by this function.

Parameters:

data_type : {‘sequential’, ‘diverging’, ‘qualitative’}

This describes the kind of data you want to visualize. See the seaborn color palette docs for more information about how to choose this value. Note that you can pass substrings (e.g. ‘q’ for ‘qualitative.

as_cmap : bool

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

Returns:

pal or cmap : list of colors or matplotlib colormap

Object that can be passed to plotting functions.
