Waterfall colour palettes

Classic, greyscale, thermal or aqua — pick the waterfall colour ramp your eyes read best, right from the BAND header.

The BAND display’s colour scheme is yours to pick — some eyes read heat colours better, some prefer classic blue.

Where to change it

Right on the Receive screen — the dropdown in the BAND header — or in Personalise. The choice is saved.

A nice detail: changing palette recolours from the moment of the change as the waterfall scrolls; history keeps the scheme it was drawn with, so you can see exactly where you switched.
