add LMS and DKL color space colorschemes?

[babaq]

Hi,

I have generated and used some basic colormaps for color science studies. These include:

LMS Cone Isolating colors

DKL Cone-Opponent colors

DKL Isoluminance Hues

and other variants.

I am wandering if these colormaps are of more general interests, so anyone can easily get access to them if they were included in the predefined colorschemes.

Sounds like a good idea!

Most of the predefined colorschemes here are"documented" elsewhere, with a link to the originating site (see https://juliagraphics.github.io/ColorSchemes.jl/latest/basics/). And there are usually license files to go with them, in /data. So you could explain and document them somewhere (eg your web site) and "publish" them, then it's easy to include them here with a suitable link to "the source".

Did you get round to writing these up somewhere?

i have these scattered in several packages, do you suggest create a new small pacakge only for them, or i could move them all into one packages(the ColorLab)?

Well it's just that there's not enough space to describe each colour scheme in any detail in the docs, so I like to just add a link to a place where the purpose and nature of the schemes is provided in more detail. Eg for cmocean I can just link to their site (https://juliagraphics.github.io/ColorSchemes.jl/latest/basics/#cmocean) where they have all the credits, etc..

To be honest I suppose it could just be a README.md or a section in any documentation you might already have. :)

I see your point. what about the scheme data, right now I save them in a JLD2 file, and loaded in package init(), but I remember some of the concreate colors in Colors.jl are written down directly in the source file, is this the way of colorschemes?

Yes, every colorscheme in this package is simply an array of RGB{Float64}. The idea of the package is simply to act as a simple catalogue of pre-defined colorschemes - unlike some other packages where colorschemes are generated when required.
