However, maybe we would need something to guard against user- or third-party-defined color sequences having a name like \"rygbk\"?","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rcomer","@type":"Person","name":"rcomer"},"datePublished":"2025-03-24T16:57:39.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/29799/matplotlib/issues/29799"}
