Darken or lighten a color in Matplotlib
To darken and lighten the color, we can chage the alpha value in the argument of plot() method.Greater the aplha value, darker will be the color.
Steps

- Plot two lines with different value of alpha, to replicate darker and lighter color of the lines
- Place legend of the plot using legend() method.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import numpy as np from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True xs = np.linspace(-2, 2, 100) ys = np.sin(xs) plt.plot(xs, ys, c='red', lw=10, label="Darken") plt.plot(xs+.75, ys+.75, c='red', lw=10, alpha=0.3, label="Lighten") plt.legend(loc='upper left') plt.show()
