5

I want to apply the following color rules to a large table of numbers. I have extracted a part of the table to use as an example.

I would like to assign 5 different colors to 5 different ranges of numbers in the plot. I have attempted to use ColorRules.

Additionally I would not like any of the number sets to overlap. IE the intersection of the sets should be zero.

The five colors I would like to use as specified by their RGB values are

rgb(215,25,28), rgb(253,174,97), rgb(255,255,191), rgb(166,217,106), rgb(26,150,65)

And the colors can be visualized here.

I have been trying to use ColorRules but I have not been successful. I would like to specify the ranges in a substituion rule like so:

subs = {r1, r2, r3, r4, r5}

then I would like any number in range 1 to get the first color value in the list. Any number in range 2 should get the second color in the list etc. 

MatrixPlot[data]

I am trying something like this:

MatrixPlot[data, ColorRules -> {colors we assign} /. subs]


data = {{-3.24293,-1.47187,-1.69071,-6.51991,-12.991},{-2.92423,-1.61127,-1.48652,-6.57345,-4.54179},

Just define your own ColorFunction,e.g.,:

MatrixPlot[{{1, 2, 1}, {3, 0, 1}, {0, 0, -1}}, 
 ColorFunction -> (First@
     Pick[{Red, Green, Blue, Orange, Black}, 
      IntervalMemberQ[{Interval[{1, 2}], Interval[{2, 3}], 
        Interval[{3, 4}], Interval[{0, 1}], 
        Interval[{-Infinity, Infinity}]}, #]] &), 
 ColorFunctionScaling -> False]

enter image description here

Put in color names/values/intervals as needed.

Or, using ColorRules:

MatrixPlot[{{1, 2, 1}, {3, 0, 1}, {0, 0, -1}}, 
 ColorRules -> {x_ /; 0 <= x < 1 -> Orange, x_ /; 1 <= x < 2 -> Red, 
   x_ /; 2 <= x < 3 -> Green, x_ /; 3 <= x < 4 -> Blue, _ -> Black}]

You can generate the ruleset from your interval/color lists.
