a.show_options["c"] = TU_COLORS["grey_1"]
a.show_options["control_mesh"] = False
a.show_options["control_point_c"] = TU_COLORS["black"]  # or "black"
a.show_options["knot_c"] = TU_COLORS["blue"]
a.show_options["control_point_ids"] = False
a.show()

I am not sure if this is something for splinepy. maybe gustaf? or a minimal external library?

thoughts @clemens-fricke ?

I thought about maybe adding a color map lookup to a file. If it is there show a debug warning that we will use the external colormap. If the colormap file is in the run folder or something? Shouldn't be that hard to implement. And elevates the problem without adding an institution-specific colormap into our code.

But I don't know how you can document this easily so that people know about it.

I can implement this if you want. Might also need to protect against code execution when reading the file.

Also, we could add it to the tataratat/samples repo and have a dynamic download if you choose this color map/chart.

sounds good. it's probably more useful after implementing default options. that way, we can call it (as other libraries do) "themes".
