Example 1

We will create a simple palette blended with different colors by passing a list of either hex values, html colors and or tuple in the input space. In this example, hex colors are passed.

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.palplot(sns.blend_palette(["#FCF8E8","#94B49F","#DF7861","#76549A"], 15))
plt.show()

Output

The output is as follows −

Example 2

In this example, we will pass a list of html colors and see how to do that. The following line of code can be sued to do so.

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.palplot(sns.blend_palette(["teal","grey","silver","orange"], 15))
plt.show()

Output

The output is as follows −

Example 3

In this example, we will pass a tuple of colors and notice how to do that., the following line of code can be used to do so.

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
sns.palplot(sns.blend_palette(("blue","orange"), 15))
plt.show()

Output

The output is as follows −
