## Summary

Chroma is a sequential colormap from the cmasher collection. Inspect its perceptual lightness, chroma, and hue profile on colorcurio.us.

Multi-hue sequential.

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.000 → 1.000 (range 1.000, min 0.000, max 1.000); monotonic; midpoint 0.542
- Chroma: min 0.000, max 0.217, mean 0.137
- Hue: 0.0° → 0.0° (span 272.5°), path monotonic-cw; quadrants: blue, violet, magenta, rose, red, orange, yellow, chartreuse, green, mint
- Endpoint temperature: null → null
- Perceptual ΔE: total 207.5, mean/step 0.814, max step 1.327, smoothness 0.698, speed 0.814

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 153.6; preserves order: yes
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 146.9; preserves order: yes
- Tritanopia: ΔE total 198.1; preserves order: yes
