A friendly guide to colours in data visualisation

And yesterday a paper explaining the process of creating Cividis, an even more CVD friendly iteration, was published on plos.org[0]. It's already in Matplotlib, and available for R[1].

(I submitted it yesterday but it didn't get much traction[2], which makes sense given how specific it is)

I looked at the paper, and wouldn't really call cividis an iteration of viridis. It's more of a conversion of viridis to "CVD colorspace" (can you say that?), with a few tweaks applied.

Well, from my CVD point of view it looks like one ;). It's largely the same except with better color contrast and ability to distinguish detail. But I understand it actually is missing a significant chunk of green hues for the non-colorblind.
