[ncl-talk] WG: WG: extra colors around plotted objects

...another thought (not sure exactly how to implement this):
You might be able to use white for all values <15 in the plot, and then redefine the color mapping and plot the color bar with the blueish colors separately.

Perhaps someone has an idea about how to make such an approach work?
