It's astonishing how many different opinions we have! Anyway, first of all, a big thank you to Nathaniel and Stéfan for some kick-ass work. I'm amazed at the perceptual delta results for Parula... 8-O Good to know that MPL will not make the same mistake.
Second, my preferences: A > B > C. I particularly like that A ends on the white end of the spectrum, giving it a "softer" look and a better gradation in grayscale. I'd discard C out of hand because it doesn't span the full luminance range, which is measured by the much lower total perceptual delta in grayscale mode. I'd also discard Paul's vote out of hand since he voted for C. =P Finally, here's a nice wikipedia article to tally the votes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_criterion ;) Juan.
