Description

Use perceptually uniform color maps when plotting scientific data. These palettes help charts show gradual changes more honestly than rainbow-style color scales that can create false visual boundaries.

This is data for visualization libraries, not a plotting app. Researchers should choose color maps that fit the data, printing needs, and accessibility requirements, especially when figures guide decisions.
