# bokeh.palettes

Provide a collection of palettes for color mapping.

In the context of Bokeh, a palette is a simple plain Python list of (hex) RGB color strings. For example the `Blues8` palette which looks like is defined as:

    ['#084594', '#2171b5', '#4292c6', '#6baed6', '#9ecae1', '#c6dbef', '#deebf7', '#f7fbff']

This module contains the following sets of palettes:

- All ColorBrewer palettes
- Categorical D3 palettes
- The Matplotlib palettes Magma, Inferno, Plasma, and Viridis
- Palettes designed for color-deficient usability

Additionally, you can also use any of the 256-color perceptually uniform Bokeh palettes from the external colorcet package, if it is installed.

Every pre-built palette is available as a module attributes, e.g. `bokeh.palettes.YlGn3` or `bokeh.palettes.Viridis256`. The name of each pre-built palette can be found in the `__palettes__` module attribute.

There are also functions such as `magma()` and `viridis()` that can generate lists of colors of arbitrary size from special larger palettes.

The Brewer palettes are also collected and grouped by name in a `brewer` dictionary, e.g.: `brewer['Spectral'][6]`. Similarly there are attributes `d3`, `mpl`, and `colorblind` that have dictionaries corresponding to the those groups of palettes.

Finally, all palettes are collected in the `all_palettes` palettes module attrubute, and the “small” palettes (i.e. excluding the ones with 256 colors) are collected and in a `small_palettes` attribute.

## Built-in Palettes

### Matplotlib Palettes

Bokeh includes the Matplotlib palettes Magma, Inferno, Plasma, and Viridis. This section shows the pre-defined small palettes in this groups. There are also large 256-color versions of these palettes, shown below in the Large Palettes section.

### Usability Palettes

Bokeh includes some palettes that are useful for addressing color deficiencies. These are shown below. Additional, several 256-color perceptually uniform palettes are available in the external colorcet package.

### Large Palettes

In addition to all the palettes shown above, which are available in the `small_palettes` attribute, the `bokeh.palettes` module also has some larger palettes with 256 colors. These are shown below:

Greys256: | (brewer)
Inferno256: | (mpl)
Magma256: | (mpl)
Plasma256: | (mpl)
Viridis256: | (mpl)

## Other Attributes

In addition to all the palettes described in the section above, there are the following notable attributes in the `bokeh.palettes` module:

`bokeh.palettes.` `__palettes__`

  A alphabetical list of the names of all individual palettes in this module.

  For example, a the lists of the first eight palette names is given by:

      >>> bp.__palettes__[:8]
      ['Accent3', 'Accent4', 'Accent5', 'Accent6', 'Accent7', 'Accent8', 'Blues3', 'Blues4']

  Note

  The full list of all palettes is also available as an enumeration from `bokeh.core.enums`:

  `bokeh.core.enums.` `Palette` = Enumeration(Accent3, Accent4, Accent5, A .... Rd5, YlOrRd6, YlOrRd7, YlOrRd8, YlOrRd9)

`bokeh.palettes.` `all_palettes`

  All built-in palette groups. This dictionary is indexed with a palette name to obtain a complete group of palettes, e.g. `Viridis`, and then further indexed with an integer to select a palette of a specific size from the group:

      >> all_palettes['Viridis'][4]
      ['#440154', '#30678D', '#35B778', '#FDE724']

  The resulting palette looks like:

`bokeh.palettes.` `brewer`

  Palette groups included from ColorBrewer. This dictionary is indexed with a palette name to obtain a complete group of palettes, e.g. `YlGnBu`, and then further indexed with an integer to select a palette of a specific size from the group:

      >> brewer['YlGnBu'][4]
      ['#225ea8', '#41b6c4', '#a1dab4', '#ffffcc']

  The resulting palette looks like:

`bokeh.palettes.` `d3`

  Categorical palette groups included from D3. This dictionary is indexed with a palette name to obtain a complete group of palettes, e.g. `Category20b`, and then further indexed with an integer to select a palette of a specific size from the group:

      >> d3['Category20b'][4]
      ['#393b79', '#5254a3', '#6b6ecf', '#9c9ede']

  The resulting palette looks like:

  The names of the D3 palette groups are: `Category10`, `Category20`, `Category20b`, `Category20c`

`bokeh.palettes.` `mpl`

  Palette groups included from Matplotlib. This dictionary is indexed with a palette name to obtain a complete group of palettes, e.g. `Plasma`, and then further indexed with an integer to select a palette of a specific size from the group:

      >> mpl['Plasma'][4]
      ['#440154', '#30678D', '#35B778', '#FDE724']

  The resulting palette looks like:

  The names of the MPL palette groups are: `Inferno`, `Magma` `Plasma`, `Viridis`

`bokeh.palettes.` `small_palettes`

  All palette groups, excluding 256-length palettes. This dictionary is indexed with a palette name to obtain a complete group of palettes, e.g. `Viridis`, and then further indexed with an integer to select a palette of a specific size from the group:

      >> small_palettes['Viridis'][4]

## Functions

The `bokeh.palettes` module also has several functions that can be used to generate palettes of arbitrary size.

`bokeh.palettes.` `gray`(n)

  Generate a palette of colors or from the Greys palette.

  The full Greys palette that serves as input for deriving new palettes has 256 colors, and looks like:

  Parameters: | n (int) – size of the palette to generate
  Returns: | a list of hex RGB color strings
  Return type: | list[str]
  Raises: | `ValueError` if n is greater than the base palette length of 256

  Examples:

      >>> gray(6)
      ['#000000', '#333333', '#666666', '#999999', '#cccccc', '#ffffff']

  The resulting palette looks like:

  Note

  This function also has the alternate spelling `grey`

`bokeh.palettes.` `grey`(n)

  Generate a palette of colors or from the Greys palette.

  The full Greys palette that serves as input for deriving new palettes has 256 colors, and looks like:

  Parameters: | n (int) – size of the palette to generate
  Returns: | a list of hex RGB color strings
  Return type: | list[str]
  Raises: | `ValueError` if n is greater than the base palette length of 256

  Examples:

      >>> grey(6)
      ['#000000', '#333333', '#666666', '#999999', '#cccccc', '#ffffff']

  The resulting palette looks like:

  Note

  This function also has the alternate spelling `gray`

`bokeh.palettes.` `inferno`(n)

  Generate a palette of colors or from the Inferno palette.

  The full Inferno palette that serves as input for deriving new palettes has 256 colors, and looks like:

  Parameters: | n (int) – size of the palette to generate
  Returns: | a list of hex RGB color strings
  Return type: | list[str]
  Raises: | `ValueError` if n is greater than the base palette length of 256

  Examples:

      >>> inferno(6)
      ['#000003', '#410967', '#932567', '#DC5039', '#FBA40A', '#FCFEA4']

  The resulting palette looks like:

`bokeh.palettes.` `linear_palette`(palette, n)

  Generate a new palette as a subset of a given palette.

  Given an input `palette`, take `n` colors from it by dividing its length into `n` (approximately) evenly spaced indices.

  Parameters: | palette (list[str]) – a list of hex RGB color strings n (int) – the size of the output palette to generate
  Returns: | a list of hex RGB color strings
  Return type: | list [str]
  Raises: | `ValueError` if `n > len(palette)`

`bokeh.palettes.` `magma`(n)

  Generate a palette of colors or from the Magma palette.

  The full Magma palette that serves as input for deriving new palettes has 256 colors, and looks like:

  Parameters: | n (int) – size of the palette to generate
  Returns: | a list of hex RGB color strings
  Return type: | list[str]
  Raises: | `ValueError` if n is greater than the base palette length of 256

  Examples:

      >>> magma(6)
      ['#000003', '#3B0F6F', '#8C2980', '#DD4968', '#FD9F6C', '#FBFCBF']

  The resulting palette looks like:

`bokeh.palettes.` `viridis`(n)

  Generate a palette of colors or from the Viridis palette.

  The full Viridis palette that serves as input for deriving new palettes has 256 colors, and looks like:

  Parameters: | n (int) – size of the palette to generate
  Returns: | a list of hex RGB color strings
  Return type: | list[str]
  Raises: | `ValueError` if n is greater than the base palette length of 256

  Examples:

      >>> viridis(6)
      ['#440154', '#404387', '#29788E', '#22A784', '#79D151', '#FDE724']
