Custom Color in Fractal Terrains?
So, I've been searching the forums and help and haven't found a how-to, and I'm hoping it's not as brute-force an answer as I'm afraid it might be....
I'd like to make a custom color map for altitudes. I'm creating a world which starts out with no life, but with oceans, eroded, naked landscape, nothing much in the way of green. I can find ones that would do for bare worlds with no oceans, or worlds with oceans and life, but nothing for a world with oceans and no life.
So far I've notebooked the color definition files and with my graphic design background I could totally hack it if I had to by using the RGB coordinates, but it seems like a no-brainer that on the color scheme menu there ought to be a "new" button, which would lead to a color selection dialog, and the ability to select varying numbers of boxes for a given color for a more or less complicated color scheme.
Am I missing something? Does such a dialog exist, but I'm looking in the wrong place? Or is there an easier way (or a different display mode) that's more likely to give me what I'm wanting?

I also vaguely recall that you can edit the color definition files by hand if you're into RGB values.
Not impressed, though the terraformer package *did* give more options. Now I'm trying to understand why FT doesn't preserve the image climate on save and reopen...
