[Matplotlib-users] Call for new style defaults

See around https://youtu.be/xAoljeRJ3lU?t=1010 for the break down in the voting.

All four of the color maps will be included in 1.5 your default is configurable via matplotlibrc, rcParams or mpl.style.use.

hi,

how did you get to that decision?

from at cursory glance at the opinions thread there didn’t seem to be a majority for option D as opposed to A, B, and C.

A, B, and C were variations on a theme, so a fair vote would be ABC or D, and then if applicable a second one to decide which variation of ABC to use.

Although I agree with Phillip that voting was not super-principled, I also agree with you Tom that it’s time to move on. All the above colormaps meet stringent perceptibility criteria and so the vote comes down mostly to aesthetics. As long as they are all named options, I for one will be happy.

Thank you everyone and especially Nathaniel for the amazing work on this topic!
