Documenting the matplotlib colormaps
# https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/881
# Several of the ColorBrewer maps are "qualitative", meaning
# they are just a group of colors that can be used together
# for categories of data. So I remapped Accent to segments
# instead of continuous:
# Actually, these should be used with ListedColormap, and
# the number of colors should depend on the number of
# categories in the data, with colors removed from the
# list in a certain order?
