[AstroPy] matplotlib's pie colors

[Jonathan Slavin]

Grigoris,

I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you off the top of my head, but I
do have a recommendation: post questions specific to matplotlib to the
the matplotlib-users list (see:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users ).  While
many on the astropy list are matplotlib users, you're more likely to get
good and quick answers on matplotlib functionality there.
