## Summary

Cyclic WRKBW is a cyclic colormap from the colorcet collection. Inspect its perceptual lightness, chroma, and hue profile on colorcurio.us.

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.888 → 0.888 (range 0.628, min 0.260, max 0.888); non-monotonic; midpoint 0.261
- Chroma: min 0.011, max 0.213, mean 0.113
- Hue: 354.4° → 340.0° (span 134.0°), path monotonic-ccw; quadrants: red, orange, violet, blue
- Endpoint temperature: warm → warm
- Perceptual ΔE: total 187.3, mean/step 0.735, max step 1.079, smoothness 0.825, speed 0.735

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 170.6; preserves order: yes
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 179.8; preserves order: yes
- Tritanopia: ΔE total 190.1; preserves order: yes
