Class: Colormaps

Continuous colour scales, by key: anything ordinal or continuous draws from one of these, anything categorical draws from Palette.palette, and an ordinal scale drawn as discrete swatches samples one rather than picking hues that imply no order. A value is either a registered colormap name (viridis) or the list of colours to ramp between (['#000000', '#ffffff']). The namespace is open — a project adds its own keys for the scales it distinguishes (bold: viridis, meg: plasma, eeg: cividis) and names them anywhere a colormap is named. sequential and diverging are the two the renderer reaches for on its own, so they are typed here and always present: a project that declares neither still has both. An open namespace cannot catch a misspelt key — sequentiel is read as a project key, not as a typo — which is the price of letting a project name its own scales. A key that shadows a registered colormap name is refused, so a name cannot mean two things at once.
