[ncl-talk] color of labels for legend

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Laura,
I think you want to use lgLabelFontColor. There's only one NCL example
script that uses it, which you can find here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/taylor_diagram_cam_uvic.ncl

Note: There's an easier way to create legends that gives the user complete
control over the legend items, sizing, and placement. Take a look at the
simple_legend function:
