I am very much in favor of taking this, but agree the name needs some workshopping.

We may also want to add these sequence(s) to

If it is ready in the next week or so, it can go in 3.9, but I think it is important to get the names and such rather rather than rushing it through.

@mpetroff great to see this! As a user, I am in favor of adding the 6- and 8-color cycles.

I took the liberty of accepting the naming change, adding it to the sequence registry, and fixing the rebase.

@mpetroff can we get an approval from you that you're good with the name changes discussed inmpetroff/accessible-color-cycles#1 that were adopted here?

Yes, I'm good with it.

@tacaswell@mpetroff Can we rebase this offmain again as the CI seems to be fixed there now, and then this should be good to merge whenever.

I went ahead and merged this and opened issue for the additional examples / documentation.

Thank you@mpetroff !

Probably the wrong place to ask this, butpetroff10 landed in Matplotlibv3.10.0

https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/prev_whats_new/whats_new_3.10.0.html#new-more-accessible-color-cycle

so we can now do

importmatplotlib.pyplotaspltplt.style.use("petroff10")petroff10

which is great. 🚀 (Also nicepetroff10 style sheet example!)

For some high energy physics training sessions the 6 color scheme is sometimes demoed (c.f. themplhep example from the 2024 USCMS/IRIS-HEP Analysis Software Training). To do a 6 color cycle should one just truncate the 10 color cycle?

The 6 color sequence by Petroff is not just a truncated 10 color sequence. It has distinct colors. You can read thrombus here and make a custom color sequencehttps://arxiv.org/abs/2107.02270.
