Re: [matplotlib-devel] RFC: candidates for a new default colormap

But I wouldn't call them aesthetic - the purple in there just looks off -
I'd prefer something like hot, afmhot, or gist_heat - or variations on
those.

Since this thread is bound to get plenty of attention (I suggest getting
feedback from -users, too), we would be remiss if we didn't point those who
didn't already see the writeup of colormaps that  Kristen Thyng and
colleagues did in the docs [1]. Also, I added a pointer to this thread over
on #875 [2].
