It would be nice to have additional selectable color schemes/palettes available. IDV (which is also Java-based, but currently does not work with MPAS output) allows the user to load numerous plugins, including color tables from NCL, Panoply, Geovista, and GEMPAK. Maybe there is a relatively easy way to add these extra color tables to VERDI. Or can we eventually create and add our own color schemes to VERDI that could then be selected at a later date (without always having to load a saved plot configuration file)? This additional flexibility in VERDI would allow us to easily use colors suitable for the few color-blind/color-challenged folks (since the “rainbow” color spectrum does not really work for them
