This package makes Cynthia Brewer's ColorBrewer schemes available in MATLAB, with a user-friendly interface.

Schemes can be interpolated to include more colours. By default, this is done using cubic interpolation in the almost-perceptually uniform CIELAB colour space to prevent inflection points arising and distorting the scheme.

To interpolate the colour schemes in CIELAB space, the FEX package colorspace is required.

The palettes available are shown in the image below. Each colour scheme is shown with its maximum number of colours, along with an interpolated colormap generated from the scheme.

Note that qualitative type colour schemes are never interpolated.
