Perceptually uniform colormaps adds 4 new colormaps that are:

1) Perceptually uniform (delta color is equal in all delta data)
2) Colorblind friendly
3) Good at grayscale conversion
4) Pretty!

Colormaps have been taken from https://bids.github.io/colormap/ , the discussion of the new default colromaps in python's matplotlib.

It should work for any Matlab release (both with the new and old graphics handles)
