Another quick solution is to just create an array/tuple that PyPlot will recognize as an RGB array/tuple:
myColors = distinguishable_colors(N) PyPlot_myColors = [[red(i), green(i), blue(i)] for i in myColors] You can also save yourself the time from needing to call the new color scheme for every plot by redefining the color cycle: ax[:set_color_cycle](PyPlot_myColors) Gabriel Gellner wrote > I use the following as a utility to have PyPlot.jl/PyCall.jl automatically > convert RGB types into tuples > > function PyObject(t::Color) > trgb = convert(RGB, t) > ctup = map(float, (red(trgb), green(trgb), blue(trgb))) > o = PyObject(ctup) > return o > end > > I'm sure it can be tweaked to be more general.
