I am plotting a yellow surface using Python with color='yellow'
, here is the codes that I wrote:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import math
from mpl_toolkits import mplot3d
#Below is the actual plot:
#============================================================================
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(20,10))
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1, projection='3d')
x = np.arange(0,10)
y = np.arange(0,10)
X,Y = np.meshgrid(x,y)
Z = -X**2-Y**2
ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, color='yellow', alpha=.5)
However, what I obtained is a yellow surface looks like this: enter image description here,
which does not look very yellow.
The yellow color that I am intended to get for the surface should look like this: enter image description here, which could be easily obtained in 2d plots. However, it seems to me that I am unable to obtain this color in 3d surface plots.
Is there any way that I could obtain the normal yellow in the 3d plots? Many thanks in advance for any help and advice!

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(20,10))
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1, projection='3d')
x = np.arange(0,10,)
y = np.arange(0,10,)
X,Y = np.meshgrid(x,y)
Z = -X**2-Y**2
ax.plot_surface(X,Y,Z,color='yellow', shade=False)
you can use shade=False and you will get a nice yellow color. Hope that helps
