Instead, for plot 2, the masking works, but the original colors remain. I've attached my images. Likewise, I added the lines to turn on @RasterFill and @RasterSmoothing to a basic wrf_dbz plot, and that worked as expected. So it appears that the problem is that @cnMonoFillColor only works on contour plots, not on raster plots, though somehow (as your attached images show) this is only a problem on my end.
