The documentation also states\r\n\r\n\u003e `c` : color, sequence, or sequence of color, optional, default: 'b'\r\nThe marker color. Possible values:\r\n\u003e\r\n\u003e* A single color format string.\r\n\u003e* **A sequence of color specifications of length n.**\r\n\r\nSo for \r\n\r\n    plt.scatter([0,1],[2,3],c=(\"0.5\", \"0.7\"))\r\n\r\none would expect two points with different shades of grey. But this is converted to an array of values and shown with the viridis colormap.  \r\nNot sure if the documentation is wrong here or the code.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jklymak","@type":"Person","name":"jklymak"},"datePublished":"2018-10-08T03:22:32.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/12438/matplotlib/issues/12438"}
