Spectral karyotyping is a standard cytogenetic technology to map chromosomes using multiple different colored fluorescent probes. The probes for each individual human chromosome use different combinations of one or more probes. The standard software to display the result uses a false-color mapping to a 24-color paletee. Coombes et al. (see references) showed that the common colorm palette includes several colors that are hard to distinguish, then genrated this palette as a suggested replacement. The copde to generate the palette (and to match it as closely as possible with the older standard) can be found inth e appendix to that paper
