New colors, specified as a matrix of RGB triplets, an array of color names, or
'default'
.
Matrix of RGB Triplets
Specify an m-by-3 matrix, where each row is an RGB triplet. An RGB triplet is a
three-element vector containing the intensities of the red, green, and blue components
of a color. The intensities must be in the range [0,1]
. For
example, this matrix defines the new colors as blue, dark green, and
orange:
Array of Color Names or Hexadecimal Color Codes
Specify any combination of color names, short names, or hexadecimal color codes.
To specify one color, set newcolors
to a character vector
or a string scalar. For example, newcolors = 'red'
specifies
red as the only color in the color order.
To specify multiple colors, set newcolors
to a cell array
of character vectors or a string array. For example, newcolors =
{'red','green','blue'}
specifies red, green, and blue as the
colors.
A hexadecimal color code starts with a hash symbol (#
) followed
by three or six hexadecimal digits, which can range from 0
to
F
. The values are not case sensitive. Thus, the color codes
'#FF8800'
, '#ff8800'
,
'#F80'
, and '#f80'
are equivalent.
This table lists the color names and short names with the equivalent RGB triplets
and hexadecimal color codes.
Color Name | Short Name | RGB Triplet | Hexadecimal Color Code | Appearance |
---|
"red" | "r" | [1 0 0] | "#FF0000" | |
"green" | "g" | [0 1 0] | "#00FF00" | |
"blue" | "b" | [0 0 1] | "#0000FF" | |
"cyan"
| "c" | [0 1 1] | "#00FFFF" | |
"magenta" | "m" | [1 0 1] | "#FF00FF" | |
"yellow" | "y" | [1 1 0] | "#FFFF00" | |
"black" | "k" | [0 0 0] | "#000000" | |
"white" | "w" | [1 1 1] | "#FFFFFF" | |
Default Colors
Specify 'default'
to set the color order to the seven default
colors. This option is useful for resetting the color order after you temporarily
change it. Here are the RGB triplets and hexadecimal color codes for the default
colors.
