A color blind/friendly color cycle for Matplotlib line plots.
Might want to shuffle it around a bit more,but already not it gives kinda good contrasts between subsequent colors, and shows reasonably well in colorblind filters (though not in pure monochrome).

Funny enough: matplotlib has already implemented the category10 color as a standard mode in version 2.0.
however if you do something like this:
matplotlib.pyplot.plot(x,y, color = 'blue')
the old basic color will be used. So beware. New notation of category10 is as shown here:
matplotlib.pyplot.plot(x,y, color = 'C0')
Just for the sake of completeness in case someone stumbles over this old question like I did today.
Thanks for your answer @swharden , without it I wouldn't know category10 colors.
