## Summary

Black-body is a sequential colormap from the moreland collection. Inspect its perceptual lightness, chroma, and hue profile on colorcurio.us.

Lightness-uniform black→red→yellow→white.

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.000 → 1.000 (range 1.000, min 0.000, max 1.000); monotonic; midpoint 0.586
- Chroma: min 0.000, max 0.181, mean 0.130
- Hue: 0.0° → 0.0° (span 109.5°), path folded; quadrants: orange, red, yellow, chartreuse
- Endpoint temperature: null → null
- Perceptual ΔE: total 153.7, mean/step 0.603, max step 2.666, smoothness 0.429, speed 0.603

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 118.3; preserves order: yes
- Deuteranopia: ΔE total 114.9; preserves order: yes
- Tritanopia: ΔE total 123.8; preserves order: yes
