Set background color for subplot

Question

Say I have an image made of 4 sub plots like so:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np

# Simple data to display in various forms
x = np.         


        

Answer 1

Axes.set_axis_bgcolor() has been deprecated since version 2.0. Use set_facecolor() now.

Answer 2

You can simply do axarr[1,0].set_facecolor('grey') to change the axis color for any particular axis manually.

matplotlib accepts many different color strings (examples here and here) as well as hex values in HTML strings (for example '#eeefff').
