Re: [matplotlib-devel] release strategy and the color revolution

Cool! I knew there had been some useful tools posted on the earlier thread
but didn't have time to dig them out.

Interesting observation about the colorfulness. I don't know enough about
all the transformations involved to full account for that, but I added some
stuff to the notebook to figure out how much of that might be caused by
straying out of gamut. It looks like the map I created does a pretty good
job and is only getting clamped at the very low end and near the high end,
so I don't think it's a complete explanation for the undulating
"colorfulness":

By means of disclosure, I did this before having coffee, so it might be
wrong...
