Smooth spectrum for Mandelbrot Set rendering

Question

I\'m currently writing a program to generate really enormous (65536x65536 pixels and above) Mandelbrot images, and I\'d like to devise a spectrum and coloring scheme that do

Answer 1

My eventual solution was to create a nice looking (and fairly large) palette and store it as a constant array in the source, then interpolate between indexes in it using the smooth coloring algorithm. The palette wraps (and is designed to be continuous), but this doesn't appear to matter much.
