Can't use pyplot due to _tkinter.TclError: unknown color name
I've got a simple code:
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,5])
plt.show()
It works fine in jupyter notebook, however when I try to run it using command line:
$ python3 main.py
It throws an error:
_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "[97]#282a36"
The whole trackeback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 2, in <module>
plt.plot([1,2,5])

self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "[97]#282a36"
I already tried changing matplotlib's backend:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('pdf') # Or using other arguments matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,5])
plt.show()
It gives me the same error message.
I also tried installing matplotlib using pip and my distribution package manager, both giving me the same error.
tkinter has been installed from my distribution repositories.
Any suggest would be helpful, I couldn't find any solution on similar questions.

I think you would want to share the complete traceback, not just the last line of it.

After reading this issue on matplotlib's Github page, I emptied out my .Xresources and it fixed the issue.
So I looked a little bit more into the .Xresources file and I found out a line:
*background: [97]#282a36
Which was the cause of matplotlib complaining about a color nameed: [97]#282a36:
_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "[97]#282a36"
Removing [97] from the line fixed the issue. remember that you have to run:
xrdb -merge .Xresources
To make the changes take place.
