I'd also like to see a few standard earth and sea colormaps. If I see another hydrographic map with depth represented as jet I'll blow a gasket! GMT has some nice colormaps. Not sure what the copyright is: there is an <a href="http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/gmt/tn/GMT_globe.png.index.html" rel="nofollow">interactive gallery</a> here. Note that their colormaps are non-linear, in that each colour can represent a differing range of data. I think these are great colormaps and excellent candidates for inclusion in the standard set.

If it does not bear a strong resemblence, that would be a bug on my part. Either way, it should look much smoother with more levels. On the submission page follow Jody’s link.
