代码：
plt.subplots(1, 1)
x= range(100)
y= [i**2 for i in x] plt.plot(x, y, linewidth = '', label = "test", color=' coral ', linestyle=':', marker='|')
plt.legend(loc='upper left')
plt.show()
结果：
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：

上面对应的颜色：
另外的显示方式：
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'])
所有颜色如下：
