Bug report
Bug summary
According to our docs:
one of {'b', 'g', 'r', 'c', 'm', 'y', 'k', 'w'}, they are the single character short-hand notations for blue, green, red, cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and white.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
for i, long in enumerate('blue green red cyan magenta yellow'.split()):
short = long[0]
ax.plot([0], c=long, label=long)
ax.plot([0], c=short, label=short)
ax.legend()
plt.show()Actual outcome
Expected outcome
cyan/c, magenta/m, yellow/y should match each other. I don't think we can change these unless we do a 4 release, so I've labelled this as a documentation fix.
