Hello,

Hmmm, this is all very odd behavior that we haven't seen before and I can't 
seem to reproduce it which makes troubleshooting it more difficult. Especially 
since this is a new build on a "new" machine. 

I am seeing your username in our logs, but don't see any specific overrides 
that would be causing the images to load with the wrong values.

Couple things to try, can you close CAVE, remove caveData 
(http://unidata.github.io/awips2/appendix/common-problems/#linux), and then 
start up CAVE again and load the data? Also try as OAX localization (even 
though that shouldn't matter).

Can you turn on sampling and show what the readout is when the colormaps look 
off? 

If none of that fixes it, maybe we can figure out a time to meet where you can 
share your screen and we can do some more troubleshooting.

Thanks,
