## Summary

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

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.224 → 0.957 (range 0.733, min 0.224, max 0.957); monotonic; midpoint 0.589
- Chroma: min 0.000, max 0.000, mean 0.000
- Hue: 197.2° → 179.0° (span 26.5°), path static
- Endpoint temperature: null → null
- Perceptual ΔE: total 66.2, mean/step 0.260, max step 0.335, smoothness 0.851, speed 0.260

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 66.2; preserves order: yes
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 66.2; preserves order: yes
- Tritanopia: ΔE total 66.2; preserves order: yes
