[ncl-talk] Color names

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Jonathan,

I don't fully understand what you are trying to do, and why you might need
named colors. So taking a guess here, there is the read_colormap_file()
that you can use to read one of the colormaps show in the gallery link, and
from that you can directly assign the result to cnFillPalette
