[Matplotlib-users] Color Cycle Survey

[Juan Nunez-Iglesias]

Thanks for this work, Matthew! I'm excited about this. For what it's worth, though (probably not much), in the 11 tries I had, I don't think I liked any of the cycles as much as the one in this comment [1], which I think is close to perfect:

But I am not colorblind nor have I worked in this space so I defer to the data. =) 
 
Thanks again,
 
Juan.

The colorblind-friendly aspect can be solved through technical means, by enforcing minimum perceptual distances in combination with color vision deficiency simulations, but the aesthetic preference aspect is subjective and requires a different approach. To this end, I've created a survey for collecting the data necessary for creating a model of general aesthetic preference for color cycles:
