## Summary

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

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.894 → 0.894 (range 0.237, min 0.657, max 0.894); non-monotonic; midpoint 0.878
- Chroma: min 0.083, max 0.287, mean 0.174
- Hue: 108.1° → 108.9° (span 359.2°), path monotonic-ccw; quadrants: chartreuse, yellow, orange, red, rose, magenta, violet, blue, azure, cyan, mint, green
- Endpoint temperature: warm → warm
- Perceptual ΔE: total 213.6, mean/step 0.838, max step 2.082, smoothness 0.452, speed 0.838

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 167.9; preserves order: no
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 149.2; preserves order: no
- Tritanopia: ΔE total 175.5; preserves order: no
