The following diagram shows the HSL colour wheel:
However the colours are specified, when Magics generates a colour scale from one colour to another, it internally traverses the HSL wheel either in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction (this is user-configurable). This is important in order to understand the series of colours produced.
Please be aware that colours might be converted to a different colour space, dependent on the selected (graphical) output format. Magics ++ now also supports transparency. Unfortunately, not all output formats (PostScript) support this feature.
The following is a chart showing all available named colours in Magics:
