-# XKCD colors are supported, but they produce a large figure, so we skip them
-# for now. You can use the following code if desired::
+# Matplotlib supports colors from the
+# `xkcd color survey <https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/>`_, e.g. ``"xkcd:sky blue"``. Since
+# this contains almost 1000 colors, a figure of this would be very large and is thus
+# omitted here. You can use the following code to generate the overview yourself ::

 #     xkcd_fig = plot_colortable(mcolors.XKCD_COLORS)
