For `Plots.jl`, is there a way to manually access/iterate through the default line color sequence? I know that in the latest matplotlib, it’s default sequence is labeled `C0`, `C1`, etc. Is there an analog here?

`palette(thm::Symbol)` returns an array of the default palette colors of a [PlotTheme](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/PlotThemes.jl). So `palette(:default)` returns an array of the default palette colors.  
Within a plot command or recipe you can use an integer `i` to access the `i`th element of the default colors, e.g. `plot(rand(10), color = 4)`.
