[ncl-talk] Color names

Hi NCL,

The predefined colormaps are excellent examples of colors. 
However, from my experience, the   gsn_define_colormap(wks, colors)  limits the flexibility of NCL.

Whereas, the  res at cnFillPalette has flexibility. 

I am attempting to generate a multi paneled plot, and switching the  res at cnFillPalette, but I still want to use the color maps.

Is there a page that has “named colors” of the color maps? 
https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/named_colors.shtml
This page has example colors, but I find it difficult to reproduce these colormaps:

Cheers,
