[GRASS-user] Which colour palette is currently applied to a raster

Hi Users,

How can I tell which colour palette set is currently applied to a raster in Grass 7.8.3? nothing is stated in metadata and checked in ‘PERMANENT/colr’ for colour palette ‘name’ but nothing.

Many thanks,

Hi Paul,

When creating new raster maps, they are assigned the viridis palette, AFAIK. Is that the case you refer to?

Named color palettes are translated into numbers in color tables, some absolute, others relative to the maps content (color tables defined by percentages). AFAIK, there is currently no heuristic to translate the existing color table back into a named palette.

It probably shouldn't be to difficult to get r.colors to write the name of the used palette into the colr file, if a named palette was used (name could the be 'custom').

If you are not looking for the name of the palette, but just the color table itself, you can use r.colors.out.
