Cyclic MRYBM

Summary

Cyclic MRYBM is a cyclic colormap from colorcet. Lightness spans 0.50–0.78, hue sweeps 359° from magenta to violet, and order breaks under protan, deutan, and tritan simulation.

Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

• Lightness: 0.782 → 0.782 (range 0.284, min 0.498, max 0.782); non-monotonic; midpoint 0.751
• Chroma: min 0.039, max 0.259, mean 0.175
• Hue: 327.6° → 326.6° (span 359.0°), path monotonic-cw; quadrants: magenta, rose, red, orange, yellow, chartreuse, green, mint, cyan, azure, blue, violet
• Endpoint temperature: cool → cool
• Perceptual ΔE: total 220.3, mean/step 0.864, max step 2.113, smoothness 0.579, speed 0.864

Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

• Protanopia: ΔE total 190.9; preserves order: no
• Deuteranopia: ΔE total 190.1; preserves order: no
• Tritanopia: ΔE total 195.5; preserves order: no
