I don't know what the old color ramp was... but if you have a graphic of the old color set, you can figure out what the colors' RGB values were using the color picker tool (usually an eyedropper icon) in most graphics programs. Then you can enter those RGB values when selecting custom colors for each in the color theme.
Another approach to recoloring the themes is to use my free Recolor Theme add-in (see http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Maptitude/message/3970). It lets you experiment with other color ramps, including Cynthia Brewer's ColorBrewer color sets. The add-in is open source, so if you like the functionality Recolor Theme provides but not the pre-programmed color ramps, you are free to modify the program to provide for other color sets. --- In [email protected], "Jim Hibbard" <jimhibbard01@...> wrote: > > The density grid in version 6 has a more pastel range of colors as opposed to > version 5's bolder, deeper range.
