Brown sequential colorbrewer #14

Closed mikecharles closed 9 years ago

mikecharles commented 9 years ago

Would you be able to add a brown sequential colorbrewer scale? It's available in the diverging color scale but not in the sequential.

The closest I could find is Yellow/Orange/Brown but it's awkward for the low end of precipitation quantities, which should just be brown.

I'd contribute it myself but I'm not sure if you have a quick and/or automated way of producing these colors.

Thanks!

The colorbrewer scales all come straight from http://colorbrewer2.org/ and I don't plan to try to imitate anything from there.

You might find something good in http://matplotlib.org/cmocean/, or failing that you can generate your own colormaps using matplotlib's LinearSegmentedColormap.

I apologize, there isn't a brown brewer scale to begin with. I guess I need to learn more about the brewer color scales and where they came from. I'll close this.

Ah, just saw your reply, thanks again.
