tidepool

A light, minimal plotting theme with soft coastal colors and serif typography. Available for both matplotlib/seaborn and plotly.

Gallery

Matplotlib / Seaborn

Plotly

Interactive version — hover, zoom, pan

Installation

pip install tidepool-theme

Or with specific backends only:

pip install "tidepool-theme[mpl]"
pip install "tidepool-theme[plotly]"
pip install "tidepool-theme[all]"

Usage

Matplotlib / Seaborn

import tidepool
tidepool.set_mpl_style()

# seaborn inherits the style automatically
import seaborn as sns
sns.scatterplot(...)

Note: calling sns.set_theme() after set_mpl_style() will override the style. Use seaborn plotting functions directly instead.

Plotly

import tidepool
tidepool.set_plotly_template()

import plotly.express as px
fig = px.scatter(...)  # uses tidepool template by default

What's included

• Background: #fafafa — light warm gray
• Font: Source Serif 4 bundled for matplotlib (SIL Open Font License); plotly template uses Source Serif Pro (loaded from Google Fonts / system fallback)
• Color cycle: 34 soft coastal tones starting with lightseagreen, lightsalmon, steelblue
• Colormaps: purpor / purpor_r (sequential) and tealrose / tealrose_r (diverging), from CARTOColors
• Layout: no grid, left+bottom spines only, clean axis lines
