## Summary

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

Perceptual gist_earth equivalent.

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.310 → 0.950 (range 0.639, min 0.310, max 0.950); monotonic; midpoint 0.620
- Chroma: min 0.000, max 0.206, mean 0.137
- Hue: 183.2° → 109.7° (span 211.6°), path monotonic-ccw; quadrants: violet, blue, azure, cyan, mint, green, chartreuse, yellow
- Endpoint temperature: null → warm
- Perceptual ΔE: total 157.2, mean/step 0.616, max step 1.724, smoothness 0.482, speed 0.616

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 121.7; preserves order: yes
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 120.5; preserves order: yes
