 You can always use green for NaN with any of these maps...

In grayscale that then wouldn't be distinguishable at all ...

 That's exactly why I don't like A that much.
 
 In many plots, I need a color for NaN results. This color should not
 fall within the normal range of the colormap. In case of B and C, it
 would be possible to use white as NaN color. When using white for NaN
 in A, it would just look like large values. So I guess I'm voting
