I've started building a small interactive Lab point editor to build a
sequential colormap.
https://github.com/pierre-haessig/lab-colormap-creator

The main interest of it is the ability to quickly check that the points
stay in the sRGB gamut.

There are some colormap results I just got this afternoon with it in the
companion notebook
(http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/pierre-haessig/lab-colormap-creator/blob/master/test_plots.ipynb)

It feels there are indeed only two routes: the Blue-Green-Yellow and the
Blue-Red-Yellow one. Maybe it is possible to squeeze in a more "snaky"
path, but it might look weird.

best,
Pierre
