Usage

To use these, you can import them and use them with matplotlib as you would with any other color map.

from swiftascmaps import red
from matplotlib.pyplot import imshow
from numpy import random

imshow(random.rand(128, 128), cmap=red)

Note

Of course, these aren't necessarily designed to be colorblind friendly, or perceptually uniform, so use them with caution. They are quite pretty though. To underline how much you should not use these in a real scientific publication (apart from perhaps qualitative imaging), the lightness values are shown below.

For quantitative comparisons, please ensure that you use a perceptually uniform colour map (see e.g. those available directly through matplotlib).
