References for constructing False Color Maps for image analysis. I'd like to add tables of RGB values for constructing maps, because those numbers seem to be rarely posted.

General References

Extensive bibliography of false color schemes.

Luminance-Based Color Maps

Based on this work: Stevens, S. S. Matching Functions Between Loudness and Ten Other Continua. Perception and Psychophysics, 1, pp. 5-8, 1966.
