Description
It would be helpful to have an option (named, for instance, log_color) that allows using color maps on logarithmic scales, similar to log_x, log_y, log_z. This would essentially rescale the standard linear color range to the corresponding log values, i.e. coloring of v would be linear in log(v).

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing log_x, log_y, and log_z handling alongside color_continuous_scale in the Python graphing library. The change is complete when a log_color option makes coloring linear in log(v), while preserving the standard linear color behavior otherwise.
