Hi everyone, As someone working with images, I think for displaying images you want a colormap that spans as much as possible of the luminance range. The colormap suggested by Michael Waskom would be quite perfect as-is. (recap: middle colormap here: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/elegantfigures/files/2013/08/three_perceptual_palettes_618.png)
I understand the concern that a colormap should be able to display things on dark and light backgrounds, but this applies only to plots, not to images. Tom Caswell emphasised the distinction between colormaps for continuous variables and color cycles for categorical variables. There should also be a distinction between image display and plotting. For image display, please consider using a colormap with a wide luminance range.
