Hi Bala,

you may want to have a look at the gallery including many example pictures on
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html
especially the follwing two examples might be of interest for you
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/contourf_demo.html
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/colorbar_only.html

I used these two to set up the attached example, which is very close to what 
you want.

Question for developers: Could it be useful to add two kwargs 'over_color' 
and 'under_color' to contourf in order to allow specification of a 
ListedColormap by kwarg 'colors' and these two colors?

best regards 
Matthias
