Two places I'd suggest looking:<br><br>cpt city provides a wide range of palettes for mapping & other data that can be adapted to mapserver, including several standard palettes:<br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/">http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/</a><br><br>and colorbrewer allows you to set up & preview various optimised palettes for maps:<br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://colorbrewer2.org/">http://colorbrewer2.org/</a> (also as Cynthia Brewer's palettes at the above site)<br><br>Cheers,<br><br> Brent Wood<br><br>--- On <b>Fri, 6/24/11, Paul Alarcon <i><paul_pag00@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br> </p>
