Gnuplot supports various plotting styles which require continous palette, such as two-dimensional pm3d and image surfaces or one-dimensional colour-variable lines or points. Palettes can be defined in RGB, HSV, CMY, YIQ or XYZ models using pre-defined or analytical colour mapping formulae.
The examples below show the original default pm3d colour gradient by Petr Mikulík from Masaryk University, nice rgb schemes listed in “help palette rgbformulae” and gradients from the pm3dcolors.dem demo script.
