Seaborn Color Palette Basics | Using named and custom color palettes in Python seaborn

Explore seaborn color palettes with this video tutorial on seaborn palette options. We start with the basics of seaborn's default color palette through the seaborn color_palette function and by passing palette names to the seaborn scatterplot hue argument. Then I show you how to use named color palettes and how to get the seaborn color palette names from an error message. We also look at seaborn color palette reverse options using "_r" after the palette names. I demonstrate how you can save the seaborn color palette colors as Python variables to use in other figures. Then we take a look at seaborn custom palettes. I show you how to make a sequential palette using seaborn light palette and seaborn dark palette. Then we use seaborn blend palette to make a seaborn color palette with many colors. Finally I show you how to create a dictionary for your categories which can be used as a highlighting palette for seaborn.

Your two palette videos are terrific. Color is such an important element in graphics and your explanations finally clarified for me the use of color in seaborn.

Great video. I wanted to use company colours in my visual and tried recreating it in Excel which failed horribly (hundreds of thousands of records), this was much easier 👍

Also...yea, I caught that crimson and grey palette as a subtle nod to OSU. ;)
