Note that any colour in the xkcd colour survey can be derived by name in matplotlib, i.e

plt.plot(x, y, color='xkcd:sky blue')

and we can get rgb tuples

from matplotlib import colors
colors.to_rgb('xkcd:sky blue')

Quite a few colours have now been added. They can be seen in hipercam/core.py ['CNAMS'], and if you type an unrecognised colour in a reduce file, reduce will give you a warning and list the recognised colours. I think we have settled for now on purple, green, orange, red, ]darkred or mud] to represent u,g,r,i,z. If you want to repeat the colours in your own code, hipercam.rgb returns the rgb tuple given a string name.
