Continuous, no frills, good for troubleshooting. Plants should be light gray.
Ned's protanopia-friendly lut designed for NDVI scaled from -1 to +1. Healthy plants don't have NDVI values below 0, so all those values will be the same color. Plants should be white or green. This has discreet classes, but could also be done with a continuous gradient.
Ned's protanopia-friendly lut designed for NDVI scaled from 0 to +1. Plants should be green.
A continuous lut from ImageJ called Physics. Produces a good heatmap with values below zero colored blue or green. Plants should be green to orange.
A discreet class lut from ImageJ called 16colors.. Produces a good heatmap with the highest values (which should not be plants) colored dull pink or white. Good for troubleshooting the high end. Plants should be yellow to red.
