c=color not changing line color

[divenex]

In Matplotlib 1.4.3

plt.plot([0,1], c='lime', linewidth=20)

produces a blue line, while

plt.plot([0,1], color='lime', linewidth=20)

produces a green one as expected.

Did using c used to work?

I can not reproduce that one, c works.

I can't reproduce either but I only tried on master.

Yes, using c=color used to work for various matplotlib releases. I noticed the problem because the plots produced by some of my code suddenly changed colors after updating matplotlib.

"c" and "color" are listed in the Line2D docstring as synonyms, so they should work identically as kwargs in plot(). The problem is present on master as well as 1.4.3.

Have a hunch that https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/3855/files caused this regression but don't have time to chase this down today.
