Yes, did you try it?

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import numpy as np

def data():
    return np.random.randint(0, 255, 10)

fig = go.Figure()
traces = [go.Scatter(x=data(), y=data(), name='the_name', mode='markers', marker={'color': color}) for color in ['red', 'green', 'blue']]

fig.add_traces(traces)
fig.update_layout(width=500, height=500)

creates:
newplot(23)

I would like to do the opposite: multiple traces have the same name and have the same color and name on the graph and in legend. Is it possible to do that?

Hey @Friburg, welcome to the forums!

Iā€™m not sure I understood what you want to do. Could you perhaps add some more information?
