[yt-dev] [yt-users] POLL: A New Default Colormap

[Nathan Goldbaum]

I've tweaked the colormap I proposed a bit so it looks less like viridis:

Colormap script here:

Compared to viridis and the old version, the bottom of the colormap is a
bit brighter (less purple, more red), and the middle emphasizes blue colors
a bit more than green colors.

I like the name 'arbre' for this colormap.

Does anyone hate the modifications I've made?
