Colormap that is commonly used for dark matter simulations

I am wondering what colormap all the astro people are using to simulate dark matter. It always looks black-violett-orangish like here and I really like it.

Any idea what values are used there or is it a specific colormap from matplotlib or something?

Solution

  • It could be 'Viridis' colormap.
