Colour Scheme
Interpolate between two RGB values
Select this check box to stretch two colours over the variable values.

By Vulcan colour scheme
This option is similar to Colour by Spectrum in the way it varies by the variable values, but it does so by the customised colour scheme chosen by the user.
Default Colour
Select a default colour. What ever is not defined by the parameters and coloured by the selected colour scheme will be automatically colour this colour by default.
