colormap package provides simple utilities to convert colors between RGB, HEX, HLS, HUV and a class to easily build colormaps for matplotlib.
pip install colormap
Create your own colormap from red to green colors with intermediate color as whitish (diverging map from red to green):
c = Colormap() mycmap = c.cmap( {'red':[1,1,0], 'green':[0,1,.39], 'blue':[0,1,0]}) cmap = c.test_colormap(mycmap)Even simpler if the colormap is linear:
c = Colormap() mycmap = c.cmap_linear('red', 'white', 'green') cmap = c.test_colormap(mycmap)check out the available colormaps:
c = Colormap() c.plot_colormap('diverging')
