Additional context Sorry for the low-quality report, but FR and BR templates both didn't seem right.

So the information you screenshot is technically correct - the folks at the College of DuPage changed the colors themselves on their own internal build. I don't think it would make sense for us to document all colors, including theirs, since it's non-standard and customized to behave so. It also looks like they made the wind barb colors separate from the hodograph colors, and instead are colored by wind speed.

In summary: Can't really support their use case in official documentation since its their custom version

Understandable, I suspected this might have been the case.

To answer this question from COD's side, and for any future internet travelers, the magenta color on both the hodograph and wind speed w/ height are for the 0-1 km layer.

You bring up a good point about documenting this on our page, I'll see what we can do though it may not be right away.
