ColorData[]

returns a list of named collections of color schemes.

ColorData["name"]

returns a color function with the given name.

List all color schemes:

• • ColorData[]

List color schemes in the “Gradients” collection:

• • ColorData["Gradients"]

Define a user-defined color function:

• • Unprotect[ColorData]; ColorData["test"] := ColorDataFunction["test", "Gradients", {0, 1}, Blend[{Red, Green, Blue}, #1] &]; Protect[ColorData]

Compare it to the default color function, LakeColors:

• • {DensityPlot[x + y, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}], DensityPlot[x + y, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, ColorFunction->"test"]}
