[Paraview] Color map removed in ParaView 3.14, please put back later

[Russell M. Taylor II]

Thank you for supporting ParaView!  It is an excellent tool for 
teaching, for research, and we've found it to be a good platform for research.

I notice that the only isoluminant color map (CIELab blue to red) has 
been removed from the list of available color maps, replaced with yet 
more variations on the rainbow color map (for a total of five).

I won't take the opportunity to repeat the reasons that there is 
always a better color map than rainbow 
(http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=4118486&tag=1 
lays this out for the umpteenth time), but I would like to request 
that the CIELAB one be put back.

When I want to map onto a surface and therefore need an isoluminant 
map, I find myself (and the students in my class) having to construct 
it myself each time.  This is about half the time I use 
Paraview.  For the other half, I use the Blackbody radiation 
spectrum, which is still there.
