I want to set the default colors and settings that are in `Plots` using the `gr()` backend when I am using `PyPlot`. Is there a simple way to do it?  
For example, I was looking for the colors definition in order to use them, but couldn’t find them. Instead - I used a color meter to match the colors, but maybe there is a better way to do it.
