It is easy.
Either choose from a long list of built-in or user-contributed files or make your own.
* built-in. These are the .spk files in /usr/local/ferret/ppl
See a demo of these with palette_demo.jnl (from inside Ferret)
Also see the documentation under 'palette'.
Also
http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/static/FAQ/graphics/colorpalettes.html* make your own. Create a file palette_name.spk
Its simplest format has a list of lines in free format, each line giving 4 numbers:
percent red green blue
All values are 0-100. Percent is along the range of values; if you don't specify via /LEV=, these will be the smallest-to-largest values of your data. First one should be 0, last 100. Next three are percents of R-G-B for that level. Ferret will interpolate between the levels given.
An example is my blue-to-gray-to-red palette:
0 20 20 100
49 85 85 85
51 85 85 85
100 100 20 20
For specific cases you might want RGB_Mapping_By_Value, which allows you to specify specific colors for specific values (see documentation).
* Invoke a palette by
PAL palette_name
or, e.g., SHADE/PAL=palette_name ...
