Earth Engine is introducing noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on April 27, 2026. Learn more.

Creates a palette using cubehelix interpolation. See: D.A. Green 'A colour scheme for the display of astronomical intensity images' (http://astron-soc.in/bulletin/11June/289392011.pdf)
The number of rotations through the hue space. Negative values correspond to Blue->Red direction.
saturation
Float, default: 1
The saturation scaling factor.
gamma
Float, default: 1
A gamma correction factor. Values less than 1 emphasize low intensity values.
startLightness
Float, default: 0
Controls how light the colors are. Lightness is linearly interpolated between startLightness and endLightness.
endLightness
Float, default: 1
endHue
Float, default: null
The ending hue. If specified, the distance between (startHue + rotations) and endHue will be added to rotations to ensure the last color has a hue of endHue.
