# The look-up table contains 256 entries. Each entry is a floating point sRGB triplet.
# To use it with matplotlib, pass cmap=ListedColormap(turbo_colormap_data) as an arg to imshow() (don't forget "from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap").
# If you have a typical 8-bit greyscale image, you can use the 8-bit value to index into this LUT directly.
# The floating point color values can be converted to 8-bit sRGB via multiplying by 255 and casting/flooring to an integer. Saturation should not be required for IEEE-754 compliant arithmetic.
# If you have a floating point value in the range [0,1], you can use interpolate() to linearly interpolate between the entries.
# If you have 16-bit or 32-bit integer values, convert them to floating point values on the [0,1] range and then use interpolate(). Doing the interpolation in floating point will reduce banding.
# If some of your values may lie outside the [0,1] range, use interpolate_or_clip() to highlight them.

Matplotlib 3.3.0 is now shipping Turbo colormap as part of the built-ins

eugvas commented Apr 16, 2021

here is another couple of colormaps also derived from "rainbow" and better balanced in terms of perceptual uniformity, the difference from "turbo" being the central color (green rather than yellow-green) and a symmetric fade of brightness towards the endpoints. See https://github.com/GalacticDynamics-Oxford/Agama/blob/master/doc/Colormaps.pdf for comparison plots,
and the python code is here https://github.com/GalacticDynamics-Oxford/Agama/blob/master/py/agamacolormaps.py.
