I'd like to get a colour scheme gradient (e.g. ColorData["TemperatureMap"]), split the domain into n equidistant points, and then recover the colour codes (RGB or Hex) for the resulting n points.

Clear[g]
g[color_, n_] := 
 Table[ColorData[color][i], {i, 0, ColorData[color][[3, 2]], 1/n}]
List @@@ g["TemperatureMap", 10]

  • $\begingroup$ Browsing this site, it seems the goal is always to avoid using Table. In that spirit, this does the same thing: List @@@ ColorData["TemperatureMap"] /@ Subdivide[1, 10] $\endgroup$ – Jason B. Mar 17 '16 at 15:03
