Gist Stern

Summary

Gist Stern is a multi-sequential colormap from matplotlib. Lightness rises monotonically from 0.00 to 0.97, hue sweeps 142° from red to chartreuse, and order holds under all three colorblind…

Stern's astronomical sequential.

Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

• Lightness: 0.000 → 0.968 (range 0.968, min 0.000, max 0.968); monotonic; midpoint 0.785
• Chroma: min 0.000, max 0.228, mean 0.170
• Hue: 0.0° → 109.8° (span 142.1°), path monotonic-cw; quadrants: red, rose, magenta, orange, yellow, chartreuse
• Endpoint temperature: null → warm
• Perceptual ΔE: total 172.2, mean/step 0.675, max step 4.851, smoothness 0.115, speed 0.675

Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

• Protanopia: ΔE total 143.8; preserves order: yes
• Deuteranopia: ΔE total 157.7; preserves order: yes
• Tritanopia: ΔE total 127.0; preserves order: yes
