title: Matplotlib Color Palette
body: <p>Is it possible to change what colors Matplotlib cycles through when it is generating its own colors for a graph's lines? I'm using the pylab module.</p>
  
  <pre><code>from pylab import *
  import matplotlib.cm as cm
  
  x=[1,2,3,4]
  y=[5,6,7,8]
  
  fig1 = Figure()
  
  plot1 = fig1.add_subplot(311)
  plot1.plot(x,y)
  
  plot2 = fig1.add_subplot(312)
  plot2.plot(x,y)
  
  plot3 = fig1.add_subplot(313)
  plot3.plot(x,y)
  </code></pre>
