abstract: Automatic generation of maximally distinct qualitative color palettes, optionally
  tailored to color deficiency. A set of colors or a subspace of a color space is
  used as input and a final palette of specified size is generated by picking colors
  that maximize the minimum pairwise difference among the chosen colors. Adaptations
  to color vision deficiency, background colors, and white points are supported.
