[ncl-talk] problem with gsn_merge_colormaps in v 6.2.1

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Jamie,

It looks like gsn_merge_colormaps is indeed working, despite the warning
message.  It looks like the warning is the result of some refactoring of
code that tests color names (i.e., were we given a named-color or a
colormap name); the warning message is spurious in this case -- we'll get
it corrected.

Thanks for pointing this out!
Rick
