  Design of false color palette is quite easy but some effort has to be done to
achieve good dynamic range, contrast and overall appearance of the palette.
Such palettes, for instance, are commonly used in scientific papers for
presenting the data. However, to lower the cost of the paper most scientists
decide to let the data to be printed in grayscale. The same applies to e-book
readers based on e-ink where most of them are still grayscale. For majority of
false color palettes reproducing them in grayscale results in ambiguous mapping
of the colors and may be misleading for the reader. In this article design of
false color palettes suitable for grayscale reproduction is described. Due to
the monotonic change of luminance of these palettes grayscale representation is
very similar to the data directly presented with a grayscale palette. Some
suggestions and examples how to design such palettes are provided.
