Hi Gary, There are a number of aspects to this question. I interpret your main question to be how to know the particular RGB values that Ferret is using for each color level in the color key of a given plot. The palette file defines a piecewise linear path through color space; now how to get the actual colors used in a particular plot. It isn't hard to get these RGB triple values. I had some scripts around, but *many* years ago and I cannot find them now. But have outlined the algorithm below. I know of no tool to generate color names like "light green-blue", though one could create it ... even as a Ferret script. To get the RGB triples just follow these steps
