@MolarFox I laughing non-stop in the last 5 minutes, thanks hahaha

Also I couldn't help myself but notice the rainbow colormap, that's in the perception area a misleading one. But I'm not here to criticize, but to ask if you have ideas on why it's still so popular

@kauevestena Nice share, good Q!
It seems to be a top, default choice in everything from MATLAB to ms excel for attaching gradients to visualisations doesn't it

Perhaps because it "feels" more rich? - visually making peaks and troughs more contrasted than a simple 2-tone gradient. Surely it'd be for aesthetic reasons more than pragmatic ones
