I using code below to generate chart with multiple traces.
However the only way that i know to apply different colours for each trace is using a randon function that ger a numerico RGB for color.
But random color are not good to presentations.
How can i use a pallet colour for code below and dont get more random colors?
groups53 = dfagingmedioporarea.groupby(by='Area')data53 = []
colors53=get_colors(50)for group53, dataframe53 in groups53:dataframe53 = dataframe53.sort_values(by=['Aging_days'], ascending=False)trace53 = go.Bar(x=dataframe53.Area.tolist(), y=dataframe53.Aging_days.tolist(),marker = dict(color=colors53[len(data53)]),name=group53,text=dataframe53.Aging_days.tolist(),textposition='auto',)data53.append(trace53)layout53 = go.Layout(xaxis={'title': 'Area', 'categoryorder': 'total descending', 'showgrid': False},yaxis={'title': 'Dias', 'showgrid': False},margin={'l': 40, 'b': 40, 't': 50, 'r': 50},hovermode='closest',template='plotly_white',title={'text': "Aging Médio (Dias)",'y':.9,'x':0.5,'xanchor': 'center','yanchor': 'top'})figure53 = go.Figure(data=data53, layout=layout53)
Many questions on the topic of plotly colors have already been asked and answered.
See for example Plotly: How to define colors in a figure using plotly.graph_objects and plotly.express?
But it seems that you would explicitly like to add traces without using a loop.
Perhaps because the attributes for trace not only differ in color? And to my knowledge there is not yet a description on how to do that efficiently.
The answer:
- Find a number of available palettes under
dir(px.colors.qualitative)
, or
- define your very own palette like
['black', 'grey', 'red', 'blue']
, and
- retrieve one by one using
next(palette)
for each trace you decide to add to your figure.
And next(palette)
may seem a bit cryptic at first, but it's easily set up using Pythons itertools
like this:
import plotly.express as px
from itertools import cycle
palette = cycle(px.colors.qualitative.Plotly)
palette = cycle(px.colors.sequential.PuBu)
Now you can use next(palette)
and return the next element of the color list each time you add a trace. The very best thing about this is, as the code above suggests, that the colors are returned cyclically, so you'll never reach the end of a list but start from the beginning when you've used all your colors once.

Complete code:
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import plotly.express as px
from itertools import cycle# colors
palette = cycle(px.colors.qualitative.Bold)
#palette = cycle(['black', 'grey', 'red', 'blue'])
palette = cycle(px.colors.sequential.PuBu# data
df = px.data.gapminder().query("continent == 'Europe' and year == 2007 and pop > 2.e6")# plotly setup
fig = go.Figure()# add traces
country = 'Germany'
fig.add_traces(go.Bar(x=[country],y = df[df['country']==country]['pop'],name = country,marker_color=next(palette)))country = 'France'
fig.add_traces(go.Bar(x=[country],y = df[df['country']==country]['pop'],name = country,marker_color=next(palette)))country = 'United Kingdom'
fig.add_traces(go.Bar(x=[country],y = df[df['country']==country]['pop'],name = country,marker_color=next(palette)))fig.show()
