Providing additional information through "shading" etc, still works quite well. Option C also does well in this particular test, though it appears too "washed out" for my tastes.
I'm not sure what I'm looking at in that picture exactly, or how to distinguish a good result from a poor one -- could you elaborate? FYI I should also note that we're planning on additionally providing isoluminant (or approximately isoluminant) variants for whatever colormaps we end up contributing, exactly for cases where you want to preserve the lightness channel for shading effects. So in any case you'll have a choice between "mapA" and "mapA-isoluminant", etc. -n
