This supercedes and includes #4965, since I'd like to get this in for 1.5.0 and @jenshnielsen noted he may be busy this week.

It addresses the remaining comments in #4965, namely to create a new category for the new perceptually uniform colormaps, and some prose improvements in the text.

@mdboom mdboom added this to the next point release (1.5.0) milestone Oct 20, 2015

Looks like the docs build doesn't work correctly

ImportError: No module named colormaps

Otherwise Looks good to me. Thanks for finishing this @mdboom


Miscellaneous
-------------

Some of the miscellaneous colormaps have particular uses they have been created for. For example, gist_earth, ocean, and terrain all seem to be created for plotting topography (green/brown) and water depths (blue) together. We would expect to see a divergence in these colormaps, then, but multiple kinks may not be ideal, such as in gist_earth and terrain. CMRmap was created to convert well to grayscale, though it does appear to have some small kinks in :math:`L^*`. cubehelix was created to vary smoothly in both lightness and hue, but appears to have a small hump in the green hue area.

Everything else looks good to me once Travis passes.
