Yes, I agree, my response on slack literally minutes ago was "11 categories is a lot to ask for a colorblind-friendly palette". But then I remembered this one, and thought it could be useful for, well... extreme cases of many categories!

I added a few, currently on master. Docs will show:

I think this can be closed then, no? Or should it stay open until this makes it into a release?

No problem - thanks!
