CB-Kcw

Summary

CB-Kcw is a sequential colormap from colorcet. Lightness rises monotonically from 0.18 to 0.96, hue sweeps 34°, and order holds under all three colorblind simulations.

Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

• Lightness: 0.177 → 0.957 (range 0.780, min 0.177, max 0.957); monotonic; midpoint 0.559
• Chroma: min 0.000, max 0.132, mean 0.072
• Hue: 182.0° → 181.7° (span 34.0°), path folded; quadrants: azure
• Endpoint temperature: null → null
• Perceptual ΔE: total 95.0, mean/step 0.373, max step 1.771, smoothness 0.437, speed 0.373

Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

• Protanopia: ΔE total 81.3; preserves order: yes
• Deuteranopia: ΔE total 84.7; preserves order: yes
• Tritanopia: ΔE total 104.2; preserves order: yes
