PR summary
(Following up from email.)
Adds a style sheet with the ten-color color cycle survey palette from Petroff (2021) [which will be published in a journal eventually]:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.02270
https://github.com/mpetroff/accessible-color-cycles
Related to (but does not fix) #9460.
At the moment, this PR contains only the minimal changes. I've only added the ten-color sequence from the paper and only done so as a style sheet.
The paper additionally contains six- and eight-color sequences, which could also be added.
Would it be better to add to
_BUILTIN_COLOR_SEQUENCES
inlib/matplotlib/colors.py
with data inlib/matplotlib/_cm.py
instead of as a style sheet?I'm also open to naming suggestions. The current name is the placeholder I've been using, with
ccs
standing for "color cycle survey".PR checklist
