[Matplotlib-users] color map choices (somewhat off topic)

[Stephen W. <ste...@cs...>]

As a protanope, and knowing that lots of folks with interest in graphics 
frequent this newsgroup, I thought I'd call everyone's attention to the 
article entitled "The End of the Rainbow? Color Schemes for Improved 
Data Graphics" which appeared in the 5 October 2004 issue of the 
American Geophysical Union's weekly newsmagazine EOS.  A Web site with 
the sample color schemes and a copy of the article is at
