## Summary

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

Sequential warm; dark-bg friendly.

## Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

- Lightness: 0.802 → 0.345 (range 0.458, min 0.345, max 0.802); monotonic; midpoint 0.569
- Chroma: min 0.095, max 0.170, mean 0.140
- Hue: 58.4° → 311.7° (span 106.8°), path monotonic-ccw; quadrants: orange, red, rose, magenta
- Endpoint temperature: warm → cool
- Perceptual ΔE: total 70.9, mean/step 0.278, max step 0.356, smoothness 0.831, speed 0.278

## Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

- Protanopia: ΔE total 64.1; preserves order: yes
