Hello everyone,

I’m trying to build a custom color map (preset) from a list of RGB values. Then import it in paraview.

Would anyone know the best way to construct it? I have 100 colors and am trying to avoid entering manually on paraview.

With kind regards,  
Olivier

Try exporting a color map first. This is done through the presets dialog. Change it, then Import it again?
