You need to be careful with perceptual artifacts in LUTs like fire - people can envisage a sharp boundary at articular places where there is none.
Better to use a "perceptually even" gradient like Viridis from matplotlib.

Infinitely better solution - if you have a Mac use Keynote. If you possibly can. There is almost no area in which it's not superior.
Except compatibility - both directions - it won't accept old movie codecs, and rigid organisers sometimes look at you and say "we need your PowerPoint on a stick".

You still didn't read even the scrap I posted. It says, audit courses that focus on information transfer and remove them. It is explicitly saying the same thing as you.
