@JobLeonard, a pull request is always the best way to make sure that things you want get added.
Have you also checked out the existing capabilities? The combination of distinguishable_colors
and the colorblindness mapping functions may basically achieve what you want, and in a sense are more first-principles than any specific colormap.
Issue opened per suggestion in the discussion on better defaults for colour vision deficiencies on Google Groups.

One of its benefits is that it is much easier to read for people with colour vision deficiency:

Furthermore it is highly tweakable for specific needs. For example, the default uses RGB colour space, but the algorithm should also work for other colour spaces, with perhaps even better results.
