Some nice colours used by Schlegel and Bates et al. 2020 (in prep.) and Li et al. 2020 (in prep)

Description

hemibrain_colours (also hemibrain_blender_colours) is a 6 colour palette from Li et al. 2020 (in prep). Although this has been described as colour blind friendly it is really not very friendly for green colour blind or green anomalous individuals and was actually designed to achieve similar perceptual brightness in Blender renderings.

hemibrain_fig_colours is an 8 colour palette that has been used for some of the figures. This actually works better for colour blind individuals.

hemibrain_bright_colours are nice brighter colours inspired by the LaCroix colour palette.
