Return a function that generates colors:

Plot a surface with gradient colors:

Reverse the order of gradient colors:

Use an indexed color scheme for plot styles:

Use an indexed color scheme for contour shading:

Some schemes have specialized images and panels:

Some indexed schemes are defined on whole numbers:

In these cases, only parts of lists and rules are returned:

Use gradients to define color function:

Use gradients to represent population:

Combine various surface properties with ColorData using Directive:

Use color lists of indexed schemes in ContourShading:

Use partition of a color list in MeshShading:

Replace HTML color names with RGB values using color rules:

Use color names combined with color rules in ArrayPlot:

Represent atoms with appropriate colors:

Use physical schemes to represent various spectra:

The integrated spectrum color for different temperatures:

Gradients can be referred to by their names only in ColorFunction:

Gradients and physical schemes clip values outside of the ranges:

Indexed schemes repeat the colors periodically:

Indexed schemes take floors of noninteger numbers:

ChemicalData uses ColorData["Atoms"] for element colors:

Named schemes return a list of names as the "Range":

First can be used to take the list of names:

In a plot with multiple ColorFunction slots, the first slot is chosen, if not specified:

Specify a pure function so that the plot is colored by height values:

Certain gradients may produce artifacts due to undersampling:

Increasing PlotPoints may reduce the problem:

Generate grainy texture from random noise:

Random bumpy pattern using rainbow colors:
