## Summary

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

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.000 → 0.518 (range 0.518, min 0.000, max 0.518); monotonic; midpoint 0.325
- Chroma: min 0.000, max 0.176, mean 0.110
- Hue: 0.0° → 142.5° (span 142.5°), path monotonic-cw; quadrants: green
- Endpoint temperature: null → warm
- Perceptual ΔE: total 53.6, mean/step 0.210, max step 0.610, smoothness 0.513, speed 0.210

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 47.5; preserves order: yes
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 42.9; preserves order: yes
- Tritanopia: ΔE total 45.6; preserves order: yes
