Caption: Figure 8.

Two-dimensional histogram of the observed CMD (top-left panel). The remaining three panels show the corresponding significance maps for each model, as defined in Equation (9). The maps are displayed using a diverging colormap: yellow indicates good agreement, blue regions indicate bins where the observed CMD contains more stars, and red regions indicate bins where the posterior CMD contains more stars.
