If you want to do it for all your plots, you can mess with all of the 'color*' settings in the .matplotlibrc file: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html#the-matplotlibrc-file There are plenty of colors to change (font, line, axes, figure, patch, etc), so just grep through there. You'll probably want to change the color_cycle list. To do the same thing at runtime, play around with matplotlib.rc(), passing in the ones you'd change from above: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/matplotlib_configuration_api.html#matplotlib.rc Then you can reset it using rcdefaults(): http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/matplotlib_configuration_api.html#matplotlib.rcdefaults If you don't like those approaches, you can specify the color for about everything using keyword arguments as you create the figure, axes, etc (using the object-oriented API), or call plot(), subplot(), etc (using the interactive pylab API). Try help(figure) and help(colors) for some examples.
