The overall range of the data is found, and the values from minumum to
maximum are binned into as many bins as there are colors listed in the
color scheme. Then the appropriate color is assigned. If you set the
absolute range of the color scheme, then you are changing the two
numbers used for minimum and maximum ("red" and "blue"). In this way you
can focus on any range you want and ignore the others -- they either
appear red or blue because they are off-scale.

If you want something like a logarithmic scale, you have to bin those
--- or supply the logarithmic number. Sorry, no LN function in Jmol math!
