Thank you for reporting.
It seems that it is not just "c", but the rgb values of "m" and "y"
are also different.
In [26]: cc.to_rgb("magenta")
Out[26]: (1.0, 0.0, 1.0)
In [27]: cc.to_rgb("m")
Out[27]: (0.75, 0, 0.75)
In [30]: cc.to_rgb("yellow")
Out[30]: (1.0, 1.0, 0.0)
In [31]: cc.to_rgb("y")
Out[31]: (0.75, 0.75, 0)
John, the relevant code to define the "colors" attribute seems to be
written by you. Maybe this is some matlab convention? Can you comment
on this?
