Why this is important: http://vis4.net/blog/posts/avoid-equidistant-hsv-colors http://tools.medialab.sciences-po.fr/iwanthue/theory.php http://tools.medialab.sciences-po.fr/iwanthue/experiment.php http://blog.visual.ly/rainbow-color-scales http://devmag.org.za/2012/07/29/how-to-choose-colours-procedurally-algorithms

Here's a bit of C code to get started: http://davidad.net/colorviz/

I think it would be good to also port some of the chroma.js stuff that iwanthue is based on. https://github.com/gka/chroma.js

Seems like a good mini-task for a student to take on?
