There is an entirely reasonable request in Cartopy that `pcolormesh` there also supports this (https://github.com/SciTools/cartopy/issues/2156).  However, Cartopy’s wrapping logic for `pcolormesh` actually [uses `pcolor` under the hood](https://github.com/SciTools/cartopy/blob/c8f1b0f2363bcceca75d2afaaee6988b7717cfa7/lib/cartopy/mpl/geoaxes.py#L1954-L1964), so we’d need RGB(A) support in `pcolor` before we could get it working.\n\n### Proposed solution\n\nI think we first need #25027 and then add RGB(A) logic on top of that, but I have not dug too far into the details.\r\n\r\ncc @greglucas","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rcomer","@type":"Person","name":"rcomer"},"datePublished":"2023-04-26T09:49:03.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/25770/matplotlib/issues/25770"}
