matplotlib/matplotlib#6033 (comment)

Maybe acceptable anyway?

On the one hand, it should be possible to directly imitate the original MATLAB colormap, so perceptual uniformity would not be a goal in that case.

On the other hand, perceptual uniformity is nice.

But on the third hand, for this map, only perceptual luminance uniformity should be the goal, not hue or chroma. Trying to make each step equidistant makes colormaps ugly.

But on the original hand, that should be a separate colormap to keep the MATLAB consistency available.
