+    # All custom palettes below are built in Oklab (Ottosson 2020) for true
+    # perceptual uniformity.  CIELAB variants (previously stored alongside as
+    # *_cielab) were dropped because Oklab has strictly lower hue non-linearity,
+    # especially in the blue region.
+    #
+    # Sequential recipe (_cielab, now removed):
+    #   1. Start from mpl base palette (e.g. mpl_Blues) in CIELAB.
+    #   2. At each of N base stops, set C* = 0.65 × max_gamut_chroma(L*, hue).
+    #   3. Densify the piecewise-linear path; resample 12 stops at equal CIELAB arc-length.
+    #   Result: MAD(Oklab ΔE) ≈ 5–25% (cross-space metric mismatch).
+    #
+    # Sequential recipe (Oklab, current):
+    #   1. Fix hue in Oklab; sweep L from light → dark with C = 0.65 × Cmax(L, h).
+    #   2. Densify dense path; resample 12 stops at equal Oklab arc-length.
+    #   Result: MAD(Oklab ΔE) ≈ 0.05–2% — true perceptual uniformity.
+    #
+    # Diverging recipe (Oklab, current):
+    #   C(L) = FRAC × min_gamut_both_arms(L) × (1 − t); FRAC=0.85 for base,
+    #   FRAC=1.0 for *_sat variants.  13 stops (odd) so the white pivot at stop 6
+    #   lands exactly on the V-corner, avoiding the mid-palette dip that an even
+    #   count introduces.

+    Sample colors from a named palette with control over start, stop, and spacing.
+
+    When ``n`` is provided, evenly samples ``n`` colors between ``start`` and
+    ``stop`` (linspace). Otherwise, returns every ``step``-th color from
+    ``start`` to ``stop`` — with default ``step=1`` this returns the full slice.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    name:
+        Key in the ``colors`` dict (e.g. ``"mpl_YlGnBu"``).
+    n:
+        Number of colors to return (evenly spaced). Takes priority over ``step``.
+    start:
+        Index of the first color to include. Defaults to 0.
+    end:
+        Index of the last color to include (inclusive). Defaults to the last
+        index in the palette.
+    step:
+        Step between color indices. Defaults to 1 (every color).
+    reverse:
+        If True, reverse the returned list.
