[ncl-talk] Question on ocean/inland water fill

[Rick Brownrigg]

Not sure why it thinks there's a string involved.

Perhaps use the re-assignment operator  ":="

Or, perhaps wrap the color in a call to rgba_to_color_index:

     res at mpOceanFillColor = rgba_to_color_index((/205.,255.,255.,1.0/))
; note the added opacity value

HTH...
