Hi Elyssa,

Can you post some sample code showing the problem?

I assume you are using either the Image or Contour function for your actual graphics? If so, you probably want to use the RGB_TABLE property to set the actual color table for the contour (or image) so that it has the white color at the correct location within the color table. Then, when you use colorbar with "target", it should just reflect the colors in the contour/image.

Cheers,
