## Summary

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

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 1.000 → 0.553 (range 0.447, min 0.553, max 1.000); monotonic; midpoint 0.769
- Chroma: min 0.000, max 0.220, mean 0.131
- Hue: 197.2° → 26.7° (span 170.5°), path monotonic-ccw; quadrants: chartreuse, yellow, orange, red
- Endpoint temperature: null → warm
- Perceptual ΔE: total 85.8, mean/step 0.337, max step 1.170, smoothness 0.546, speed 0.337

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 72.7; preserves order: yes
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 56.5; preserves order: yes
- Tritanopia: ΔE total 64.6; preserves order: yes
