title: More perceptually uniform colormaps?
body: <p>I am an advocate of using perceptually uniform colormaps when plotting scientific data as grayscale images and applying false colorings.  I don't know who invented these, but these colormaps are fantastic and I would not use anything else.</p>
  
  <p>Anyways to be honest, I've gotten a bit bored of the 5 colormaps (viridis, plasma, inferno, magma, cividis) which have been implemented in many popular graphing softwares (R-ggplot, python-matplotlib, matlab, JMP, etc.).  I'm sure some of you also feel the same monotony...</p>
  
  <p><strong>So in addition to those 5 colormaps, what are some other colormaps which are perceptually uniform?</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>BONUS:</strong> Is there some algorithm to derive colormaps with perceptually uniform qualities (maybe not since color perception has a psychological aspect)? but if so, what is it?</p>
