Create a Color Map in Matplotlib via Hex Codes

I am trying to make a color map in Matplotlib so that I could pass it in plt.get_cmap(). Based on tutorials, I only see making color maps via RGB levels. But I have three (3) hex codes that I want to use in my chart. These are: #f1a340, #f7f7f7, and #998ec3.

Anybody experienced making a color map using Hex Codes?

Thank you :)

I would recommend converting your hex values into RGB tuples, then adding them all to a list. you can then utilize the from_list() method of linearSegmentedColormap to create a unique color map

LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list()

If you need more information you can use this as a reference:
