Thanks. Here are my settings. I just estimated the colours. The upper reds were a failed attempt to make the legend more helpful.

@atmosj
There is no way to customise the steps of the colour scale.
But I don’t think that remembering 10 colours is so difficult. I have 13 for my own wind scale, and never use the legend.
As @Yves70 said, at the end, the weather picker is the best tool to know the exact rain accumulation in the areas where your colours show high values.
btw could you post a screenshot of a rain accumulation map with your customised colours. That should be interesting for Windy users.

Many thanks to you and @Yves70 for your responses and apologies for the late reply. I'm new to the forum and did not think there had been any replies. I do use the weather picker all the time, but find the fixed legend scale inelegant.

The legend sample I enclosed came from an accumulated rainfall forecast map provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. They provide a 1-4, 5-8 and 1-8 day forecasts for our region using combined input from 5 models, including the ECMWF. They are very useful for identifying the potential for flooding from multiday rainfall systems like east coast lows and tropical cyclones.

To see the maps and more information about the forecasts, see:

My 1-5 day equivalent Windy version looks like this:

Dear Windy,
Is there a way to customise the accumulated rainfall legend?

I would like more resolution between 40 mm and 1 m, especially when looking at 10 day accumulations when flooding is possible.
eg: 0 ,1, 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400. I have added these extra lines to customise my colour scale, but the fixed displayed legend is not helpful.
For example:
