custom control marker color

[lybdzxy]

When I try to custom control marker color like this:

MARKERS = {
"EC-Earth3": {
        "labelColor": "k",
        "symbol": "+",
        "size": 9,
        "faceColor": "#b4ddd4",
        "edgeColor": "#b4ddd4"
}
}

The following error occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\GEO\pyproject\taylor_dia.py", line 137, in <module>
    sm.taylor_diagram(sdev, crmsd, ccoef, markers=MARKERS, markerLegend='on',labelrms= 'RMSE')

ValueError: '+#b4ddd4' is not a valid format string (unrecognized character '#')

I finaly found the solution: the code in get_single_markers.py in line 43:

    # Iterate through keys in dictionary
    for key in markers:
        color = markers[key]['faceColor']
        symbol = markers[key]['symbol']
        SymbolColor = symbol + color
        marker.append(SymbolColor)
        markersize.append(markers[key]['size'])
        markerfacecolor.append(color)
        markeredgecolor.append(markers[key]['edgeColor'])
        markerlabel.append(key) # store label
        labelcolor.append(markers[key]['labelColor'])

should change into:

     # Iterate through keys in dictionary
    for key in markers:
        color = markers[key]['faceColor']
        symbol = markers[key]['symbol']
        marker.append(symbol)
        markersize.append(markers[key]['size'])
        markerfacecolor.append(color)
        markeredgecolor.append(markers[key]['edgeColor'])
        markerlabel.append(key) # store label
        labelcolor.append(markers[key]['labelColor'])

because it seems that matplotlib only suport symbol + color in 1 letter (eg: 'or','xg',etc)
