All,

_cool to warm_ is the default legend color for all the fields in my data set. I go to _choose preset_ and can change the legend to whatever type of legend I want. This is quite pesky to do that individually for all my fields.

Can I make the _turbo_ legend, for instance, as the default such that _turbo_ is pre-selected when I open paraview?

Thank you!

There is a button at the bottom of the `Color Map Editor` that will set the current color map as the default.

Is there also a way to save it as default after closing paraview? Or do I have to set once whenever I open paraview?

That option will save it if you close ParaView normally and reopen it again.
