## Summary

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

Designed for turbidity (sediment in water).

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.945 → 0.240 (range 0.705, min 0.240, max 0.945); monotonic; midpoint 0.588
- Chroma: min 0.009, max 0.110, mean 0.077
- Hue: 116.4° → 65.8° (span 64.5°), path monotonic-ccw; quadrants: chartreuse, yellow, orange
- Endpoint temperature: warm → warm
- Perceptual ΔE: total 80.9, mean/step 0.317, max step 0.352, smoothness 0.938, speed 0.317

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 71.6; preserves order: yes
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 71.2; preserves order: yes
- Tritanopia: ΔE total 82.8; preserves order: yes
