You can reference colors in the palette by number in most commands that understand color names.
You can programmatically access the colors using ColorTools commands.
Colorwheel is best used to construct a sequential gradients from uniformly dark to light to dark, through the colors of the spectrum blue to yellow and back to blue.
This colormap is not very good when converted to grayscale.
This colormap is not very good for users with CVD.
The Blend command can be used to create a function to color arbitrary ranges. It can take the name of a palette to generate a colormap.
And is particularly good when used to color surfaces. The colorscheme option of plots can take the names of palettes to generate gradients.
