+Cyclic colormaps
+----------------
+
+Two new colormaps named 'twilight' and 'twilight_shifted' were added.
+These colormaps start and end on the same color, and have two
+symmetric halves with equal lightness, but diverging color. Since they
+wrap around, they are a good choice for cyclic data such as phase
+angles, compass directions, or time of day. Like viridis, twilight is
+perceptually uniform and colorblind friendly.
