      Hello,
      Some of you will know that you can set the colour scales of various units to suit your preferences.
      https://community.windy.com/topic/10336/customize-the-color-scales-of-windy-layers

      This is great but changing the colour scale is a rather slow process imo (eg a good gradient temp europe would have a low range in the middle east).

      I would like to start a thread of useful and interesting colour scales including the code to copy.
      Please post a screenshot of the colour scale, an example map and the associated code ready to copy. See my example below

        this is a wind scale useful for highlighting areas of good wind power for wind turbines.
        it highlights in green the area of moderate wind production (5-10m/s) and yellow when it reaches typical rated wind capacity (10-15m/s) becoming red around max power (15-20m/s).
        Violet and grey will highlight wind speeds that are too strong and might cause wind turbines to shut down (>20-25m/s)

          Hi, here is a colour setting for humidity that I have done for a fireman in south of France. He asked for a detailed scale below RH 30% because the default colour scale shows a uniform colour shade.
          This colour scale uses non-smoothed steps for those below 50%, easy to remember as Windy does not give the colour range below 30% :
          Bright red 0% - 10%
          Brick red 10% - 20%
          Amber 20% - 30%
          Green 30% - 40%
          Light blue 40 - 50%
          Above 50% the colour scale is similar to that of Windy.

          I have more customized colour scales, some of them have been included in this article.
