But what's your take about ordering years in decreasing order? I get it's due to the reverse logics for age but year is stated first - and I was kinda expecting time, not age, going from left to right as well.

The magick package to load the image and extract the channels. And then ggplot to draw the pixels and map the color to the lightness values.

Today, I extended my framework: the template now also shows the lightness profile and a generic heatmap using the same palette.
The latter is inspired by the Palette Finder from Yan, that is integrated into our latest #ggplot2 [un]charted lesson.

It’s simple: applying the palette to the lightness values of a photo makes color gradient issues impossible to ignore.
A corporate palette that looks great in a brand guide can quickly fall apart on an image: abrupt jumps, lost detail, strange banding.

Wonderful colors, but be careful as many of them are not working well in a dataviz context due to several limitations for both, numeric and categorical encodings 😢

While they look great, be careful — several palettes are not colorblind-friendly or lack perceptual uniformity.
