Set Default Saturation in Seaborn

Question

The Seaborn's saturation is 0.75 by default [1]. So, one needs to set it to 1 for every new plot. Is it possible to change this default value early on in a notebook? Similar to the dpi parameter below in matplotlib.

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.rcParams['figure.dpi']= 150

titanic = sns.load_dataset("titanic")
sns.countplot(x="class", data=titanic)
plt.figure()
sns.countplot(x="class", data=titanic, saturation=1)

No, seaborn does not define any global settings beyond those in the matplotlib rcParams. But you could use default colors that are more saturated...

Thanks. Does that also mean that there is no equivalent parameter in matplotlib rcParams? I myself couldn't find any. – Reveille Oct 15 '20 at 16:04
