Today I want to tell you how and why I made these images: After the MATLAB R2014b release, I wrote several blog posts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4) about the new default colormap, parula, that... read more >>

I promised earlier to post about divergent colormaps. A divergent colormap is usually constructed by concatenating two colormaps together that have different color schemes.Here is an example of a... read more >>

In the summer of 2013 we were closing in a choice for the new MATLAB colormap. We were down to tweaking and fine-tuning.But ... we needed a name!For my many experiments, I had fallen back on an... read more >>

I hesitated for some time today about where to go next in my discussion about the new default colormap in MATLAB. I finally decided to spend a little time on the reactions so far. Those reactions... read more >>

Last week I showed you the new MATLAB colormap, parula. Parula has replaced jet as the default colormap in R2014b, which was released earlier this month.This week I want to explain some of the... read more >>

I believe it was almost four years ago that we started kicking around the idea of changing the default colormap in MATLAB. Now, with the major update of the MATLAB graphics system in R2014b, the... read more >>
