Title: colormaps

Provides basic tools for colormap creation using the method by Wijffelaars, M. et al. 2008.

Most simple usage is by defining the hue of the map (in LCHuv)
```julia
colormap(250)
```

or by giving the name of the color
```julia
colormap("Reds")
```

In addition, one can easily change the number of colors in the palette
```julia
colormap("Greens", 10)
```
