Yes, the result looks more like a rainbow set, but that doesn't mean
anything is incorrect. The algorithm is doing what you are telling it
to do. The "alter V" algorithm will *always* generate colors that are
outside the original colormap. It happens that superimposing wild
variations in V on something mapped with cubehelix yields a result that
looks more rainbow-ish than if you started with some other map. This is
just because of the character of cubehelix. It doesn't mean the code is
failing--it means the algorithm is not the right one for the result you
want to achieve, or cubehelix is not a good choice for the result you
want, or both.
You might get something more to your liking if you were to start with a
colormap in which V is uniform--all variation is in H and S--and then
impose the shading on the V. Cubehelix starts with a full range of V,
so replacing V with your shading channel completely changes the set of
colors you end up with.
