I like this Chroma.js tool by Gregor Aisch as discussed here: https://vis4.net/blog/posts/mastering-multi-hued-color-scales/ http://gka.github.io/palettes/#diverging|c0=darkred,deeppink,lightyellow|c1=lightyellow,lightgreen,teal|steps=13|bez0=1|bez1=1|coL0=1|coL1=1

from the Matplotlib:

• viridis for precip--> I like this one

• jet for temp--> is this too bright?

  Instead of this I would favor the chroma.js that Shruti pointed out since it relied on Colorbrewer
  (eg. red-yellow-blue diverging palette) https://vis4.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/screenshot-2013-09-08-um-14.08.10.png

Default palettes are now configurable for each climate model. YlGnBu is the current default for precip, and YlOrRd for temperature-- but they're easily changed!
