Maybe pull the 4 new ones out into their own category 'Suggested Sequential' ?

Makes sense, Im away until Wednesday but will try to finish it after. Perhaps we should add some more metadata to the colormaps. This info is duplicated 3 or 4 times in various examples.

By Suggested Sequential you mean we suggest them because they have perceptual uniformity.
In which case why not call them Perceptually Uniform Sequential. That way we make it clear why we suggest these ones, i.e. why they should use these ones over the other sequential colour maps...

@jenshnielsen: What do you think about adding #5202 to this? If you don't have time, I can take a crack at this. |

Makes sense to me. If you have time to work on it that would be great. I am not likely to have time to look into it again before the weekend |

| For many applications, a perceptual colormap is the best choice --- one in which equal steps in data are perceived as equal steps in the color space. Researchers have found that the human brain perceives changes in the lightness parameter as changes in the data much better than, for example, changes in hue. Therefore, colormaps which have monotonically increasing lightness through the colormap will be better interpreted by the viewer. | ||

This PR was automatically marked as merged by merging #5284 since it was based on this one (without any rebasing.) |

First pass at a fix for #4783
The new colormaps have been added to the relevant examples and the plots in the user guide and tweaked the layout a bit.
So far I have just added the colormaps. We should probably promote the new ones better?
The plots in the user guide are still in LAB space I guess we should convert them to CAM02-UCS?
We should probably alto mention viscm and @njsmith's talk from Scipy
@stefanv @njsmith and @kthyng you may have some interest in this.
