colour.plotting.plot_multi_colour_swatches(colour_swatches, width=1, height=1, spacing=0, columns=None, text_parameters=None, background_colour=(1.0, 1.0, 1.0), compare_swatches=None, **kwargs)[source]

Plots given colours swatches.

Parameters:
  • colour_swatches (list) – Colour swatch sequence.
  • width (numeric, optional) – Colour swatch width.
  • height (numeric, optional) – Colour swatch height.
