Hello,

I have attached a contour. As you can see in the Legend, 0 value indicates white color. However, in the contours, I am not getting the same colormap. How to rectify it and remove the radial lighting?  
Thank you for your kind support and time.

Hello,

I have set the Properties-\>Lighting-\>Specular to zero. However, I can’t figure out to fix the gray color in the contour. Could you please provide some guidance? Thank you

You can also disable the lighting completely (via lightinspector).
