Seaborn Color Palettes - Introduction



Color palettes in seaborn makes visualizing data a lot more interesting. The main aim while producing a data visualization is to convey the data's insights. While styling affects how your audience understands what you're trying to say, visualizing conveys crucial information.

The final step of data visualization is styling, which comes after formatting and visualizing your data. Customizing the overall appearance of your visualization or figure is the process of styling. Making deliberate choices will enhance the impact of the visualization and distinguish your work. Using backdrop colors, grids, spines, and ticks, we'll look at how to change the overall appearance of your figure in the following articles. We may generate the point with various colors using the palette.

In the following chapters we will discuss a few of the color palette methods that Seaborn offers.
