## Summary

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

Black→ice-blue sequential.

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.000 → 1.000 (range 1.000, min 0.000, max 1.000); monotonic; midpoint 0.566
- Chroma: min 0.000, max 0.198, mean 0.095
- Hue: 0.0° → 0.0° (span 164.9°), path monotonic-cw; quadrants: violet, blue, azure, cyan
- Endpoint temperature: null → null
- Perceptual ΔE: total 121.7, mean/step 0.477, max step 0.724, smoothness 0.792, speed 0.477
