Hello,

I'm not exactly sure why some colormaps would load fine but some wouldn't... 
Initially I thought maybe because this is a user override colormap and you 
aren't the same user that could be the issue, but that doesn't completely make 
sense if other colormaps are working fine. You could try having the students 
send you the colormap file or save it as a site override with the students name 
in the filename? 

A copy of the colormap that isn't loading could help identify the issues. You 
should be able to find the colormaps in 
/awips2/edex/data/utility/common_static/user/[USER]/colormaps

Thanks,
