Configuring a Color Set

Each color cell can be either a solid color, or a gradient color which changes continuously to the next value.

For gradient colors, the color at the top seam is set to the same value as the bottom color of the cell above.

There can be up to 8 color sets, one of which must be named Default.

To create, rename, or delete color sets, see Configuring a Color Scale.
