Can someone point me to a list of acceptable kde keyword arguments? I am aware of a few, e.g.: 

kde_kws={"linewidth": 4, 'linestyle':'--', "color": "k", "label": "KDE"}

    See `kwargs` here: https://matplotlib.org/3.1.1/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.plot.html – ayhan Oct 13 '19 at 06:28
  • I'm specifically trying to modify the edge color of the kde lines. I can't find this keyword, am I missing something? – Cactus Philosopher Oct 13 '19 at 06:32
  • What do you mean by the edge color? – ayhan Oct 13 '19 at 06:37

    You should be able to pass `path_effects` like the answer in that link does: `sns.distplot(x, kde_kws={'color':'k', 'lw':2, 'path_effects':[pe.Stroke(linewidth=5, foreground='g'), pe.Normal()]})` – ayhan Oct 13 '19 at 06:54

You can find the kde keyword arguments here: https://seaborn.pydata.org/generated/seaborn.kdeplot.html

What you suggested as kde keyword arguments are actually

Other keyword arguments are passed to plt.plot() or plt.contour{f} depending on whether a univariate or bivariate plot is being drawn.

So if you're looking for the keyword arguments of plt.plot or plt.contour, look them up on matplotlib documentation.
