You use a different version of matplotib than whoever made the first
one. Lots of things have changed regarding defaults, including colormap.
You are using the “new” viridis colormap, the plot above looks like jet.

This is not the only difference between the two plots (look at e.g.
ticks direction, spine…). To reproduce the old plot, the easiest would
be to use the classic stylesheet of matplotlib with
`plt.style.use("classic")`, to be added after importing matplotlib.

Regards,
Bruno
