Color Vision Deficiency Friendly Colormaps (cmweather.cm_colorblind)#

Colorblind friendly radar colormaps

Available colormaps, reversed versions are also provided, these colormaps are available within matplotlib:

  • HomeyerRainbow

  • balance

  • ChaseSpectral

  • SpectralExtended

  • CM_depol

  • CM_rhohv

  • plasmidis

  • bgyp

  • turbone

CM_dopol and CM_rhohv are based on the work by:
