[ncl-talk] NCL map line and fill color

[Alan Brammer]

You’re ncl version is many years old.  This might not be a problem of version, but a lot of the colour functionality has improved a fair amount since 6.0. 

Mainly. in 6.0 colours (or the nearest? equivalent) are pulled from the colormap.  When you upgrade, colours do not have to be in the colormap and thus your named colours will be what you expect.

When I use named color variables, the state line color will sometimes plot as something else ("Brown" plots as red, "Green" plots as blue, "Grey30" plots as purple, etc.).  I also cannot get the map fill color to be anything at all, named color or number.
