color scale
Gradient of hues
A color scale is a range of colors arranged in sequence, typically representing gradations of value or intensity.
In data visualization, color scales map numerical values to colors: The map uses a color scale from blue to red to show temperature.
Artists and designers use color scales to ensure consistent gradation across a palette.
