Yellow 15

Summary

Yellow 15 is a sequential colormap from paraview. Lightness falls monotonically from 1.00 to 0.28, hue sweeps 92° from chartreuse to red, and order holds under all three colorblind simulations.

22-point yellow ramp.

Perceptual profile (OKLCh)

• Lightness: 0.999 → 0.279 (range 0.720, min 0.279, max 0.999); monotonic; midpoint 0.755
• Chroma: min 0.004, max 0.178, mean 0.137
• Hue: 106.5° → 17.0° (span 91.5°), path monotonic-ccw; quadrants: chartreuse, yellow, orange, red
• Endpoint temperature: null → warm
• Perceptual ΔE: total 116.7, mean/step 0.458, max step 1.333, smoothness 0.624, speed 0.458

Colorblind safety (ΔE under simulated CVD)

• Protanopia: ΔE total 104.5; preserves order: yes
• Deuteranopia: ΔE total 95.6; preserves order: yes
