Hi Matteo,

Thanks for sharing this resource.

Also, I wanted to personally thank you for MyCarta.  It's a great
resource and Kristen Thyng and I have learned a lot from it.  Kristen
cited you in a talk she gave at SciPy 2014 last month.  We both gave
talks at SciPy 2014 about colour maps I think you might find
interesting.  They were recorded and put on YouTube by Enthought and
you can check them out
here<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alnc9E1RnD8> and
here<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkDgBvT-giw>.

I think it would be a good idea to link to your IPython (read Jupyter)
notebook, along with some of the work Kristen as done with matplotlib
colour maps, from the matplotlib web page.  Would you be amenable to
this?

All the best,
Damon
