CIE colourmaps for matplotlib

Requirements

  • matplotlib
  • numpy
  • opencv

Usage

Import the luv_colour_map and/or lch_colour_map functions into your script. Both require a list of colours in the RGB format (normalised to 1) and a granularity in the form of N_bins, so e.g.

rgb_list = [(1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0)]
colour_map = luv_colour_map(rgb_list, N_bins = 256)

The resulting colourmap can be used just like any other matplotlib colourmap.

The difference between the two functions is that luv_colour_map does the colour interpolations linearly in CIELuv space, while lch_colour_map does them linearly in CIELCh_uv i.e. cylindrically in CIELuv. Additionally, luv_colour_map does some logic to make sure that the midpoint of the colourmap lies close to the perceived midpoint between the two colours (I think, it's been a few years since I made this). This makes luv_colour_map especially nice for fractions or for maps that need to centre at 0.
