Colormap Gallery#

Sequential family#
Best for ordered values with a single direction (low to high).
Diverging family#
Best for values around a meaningful center (for example anomaly maps).
Multi-sequential family#
Useful when multiple ordered bands must remain visually distinct.
Circular family#
Best for periodic variables such as phase and angle.
Qualitative family#
Best for categories without numeric ordering.
Miscellaneous family#
Includes legacy or specialized maps; assess these carefully before publication.
