Thanks to all for the help so far. I'm getting there, but am currently pondering about the definition of the palette_dict. I wanted to add a color gradient such as grey_yellow, as the green_yellow didn't work as well as I was hoping for. I'm not entirely sure what the color codes refer to.
i.e. 'yellow_blue' : ('c',3, 0, 83), 'blue_yellow' : ('c',3, 83, 0), What do the parameters 'c', 3, 0 and 83 refer to, respectively? And is there a quick way to find the correct numbers matching a certain color for a customized gradient? Thanks for any further help.
