[Bug]: Setting matplotlib.pyplot.style.library['seaborn-colorblind'] result in key error on matplotlib v3.6.1 #24264
Description
Bug summary
I have code that executes:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt the_rc = plt.style.library["seaborn-colorblind"]
Using version 3.4.3 of matplotlib, this works fine. I recently installed my code on a machine with matplotlib version 3.6.1 and upon importing my code, this generated a key error for line the_rc = plt.style.library["seaborn-colorblind"] saying "seaborn-colorblind" was a bad key.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
the_rc = plt.style.library["seaborn-colorblind"]Actual outcome
Traceback (most recent call last):
KeyError: 'seaborn-colorblind'
Expected outcome
seaborn-colorblind should be set as the matplotlib library style and I should be able to continue plotting with that style.

This is due to the style renaming, but it's an oversight that this dictionary does not provide an alias for the old names.
