Yes, I was worrying about the same thing while cooking dinner :-)  A
line can be added to a Figure or an Axes, so perhaps the default color
should not come from there.  What about a module level attribute
matplotlib.colors.cycle by an rc param "colors.cycle" and then the
default Line2D and LineCollection color can default to
matplotlib.colors.cycle[0].
