#' @aliases oce.colors<%=colorItemUC%> oceColors<%=colorItemUC%>
#'
#' @description
#' Create a set of colors for displaying <%=colorItem%> values,
#' based on the scheme devised by Thyng et al. (2016) and
#' presented in a python package by Thyng (2019).
#' The color specifications were transliterated from
#' python to R on 2015-09-29, but have not been adjusted
#' since, even though the python source has changed.  This
#' is to prevent breaking old `oce` code.  To get the
#' latest versions of these colours or other colours,
#' use the \CRANpkg{cmocean} R package
#' (Thyng, Richards, and Krylov, 2019) directly, as is
#' illustrated (with the "matter" scheme) in Example 2.
#' Note that the \CRANpkg{cmocean} core functions provide a way
#' to select between various versions of the colour schemes.
#' It is also worth considering the palettes provided by the
#' \CRANpkg{viridis} package, as illustrated (with the
#' "inferno" scheme) in Example 3.
#'
#' @return A vector of color specifications.
#'
#' @param n number of colors to create.
