How to make an arrow all one color?

Hi, I am trying to draw a brown arrow to a particular part of my figure but am having some difficulty. The code I’m currently using is something like:

annotate(‘notice this’,xy=(119.628,-7.9158),xytext=(0.8,0.5),textcoords=‘axes fraction’
,arrowprops=dict(facecolor=((0.549,0.176,0.0156)),shrink=0.02,width=1,headwidth=
6,frac=0.05),fontsize=12,horizontalalignment=‘right’,verticalalignment=‘top’,color=((0.549,0.176,0.0156)))

However, when I do this it only makes the HEAD of the arrow brown, while the body of the arrow is still black. What am I missing?

Lastly (and unrelated to the topic) when I insert such a figure in Latex it looks fine in my later-generated PDF. But if I increase the fontsize part of the figure gets cut off. What’s the best way to fix this? In the past I would usually just toy around and mess with the BoundingBox in the *eps file, but I wondered if there was a more legitimate way.

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.

In matplotlib, patches have two colors; facecolor and edgecolor.
So, try something like this

         arrowprops=dict(facecolor=((0.549,0.176,0.0156)),
                         edgecolor=(0.549,0.176,0.0156),
                         shrink=0.02,width=1,headwidth=6,frac=0.05),
