代码：
plt.subplots(1, 1) x= range(100) y= [i**2 for i in x] plt.plot(x, y, linewidth = '1', label = "test", color=' coral ', linestyle=':', marker='|') plt.legend(loc='upper left') plt.show()
说明：其实上面color=' coral '中，可以换成color=' #054E9F'，每两个十六进制数分别代表R、G、B分量：

装了seaborn扩展的话，在字典seaborn.xkcd_rgb中包含所有的xkcd crowdsourced color names。如下：
plt.plot([1,2], lw=4, c=seaborn.xkcd_rgb['baby poop green'])
