Okay, looking at your d2dContourStyles.xml file on our EDEX, you need to remove the line: <increment>500</increment> Because you are replacing that with your more specific rules. The color "apricot" is not recognized. You can use the hex code for it "#FBCEB1" Then you'll need to include both the min and max for your ranges, and then specify the increment. <styleRule> <paramLevelMatches> <parameter>PBE</parameter> <parameter>CAPE</parameter> <parameter>cCape</parameter> <parameter>loCape</parameter> <parameter>muCape</parameter> <parameter>dCape</parameter> </paramLevelMatches> <contourStyle> <displayUnits>J/kg</displayUnits> <contourLabeling labelSpacing="4"> <increment color="#FBCEB1" lineStyle="SOLID" max="1000">500</increment> <increment color="coral" lineStyle="SOLID" min="1000" max="1500">500</increment> <increment color="orange" lineStyle="SOLID" min="1500" max="2000">500</increment> <increment color="red" lineStyle="SOLID" min="2000" max="3000">500</increment> <increment color="maroon" lineStyle="SOLID" min="3000">500</increment> </contourLabeling> </contourStyle> </styleRule> One thing to note, is as you zoom in, the increment decreases and more contours get plotted. If you only want to view specific values, then you'll have to use the value tag (step 15 in the walk through) Thanks, Tiffany Meyer AWIPS Lead Software Engineer UCAR-Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RXW-626267 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
