Detailed documentation and examples of usage please see: https://github.com/weitingwlin/matlabutility/blob/master/documents/mycolor.md
Syntax

code = mycolor(colorcode, selectplate)

colorcode: integer (>1), selecting from the color plate:
e.g. colorcode = 3 returns [ 0 0.2000 0.6000], the code for dark blue from the default plate 'color'
other usages :
colorcode = 0 (default): will display the color plate assigned in a new figure
colorcode = -1 ; return the colormap (3 * ?) matrix, specified in [selectplate]
colorcode is a string (passed to selectplate), return colormap (as colorcode = -1);
selectplate: a string, assign the plate you want to chose from
'color': default; the plate with discrete color; type mycolor(0) for detail
'redblue': a red to blue bipolor scale; type mycolor(0,'redblue') for detal
'gray': a gray scale; type mycolor(0,'redblue') for detail
