You can reference colors in the palette by number in most commands that understand color names.
You can programmatically access the colors using ColorTools commands
Isoluminant is best used to construct a sequential gradients uniformly from cyan through green to orange each with a uniform lightness - they all convert to the same gray.
The Blend command can be used to create a function to color arbitrary ranges. It can take the name of a palette to generate a colormap.
And is particularly good when used to color surfaces. The colorscheme option of plots can take the names of palettes to generate gradients.
