The default color method is the ''Solid'' color option. This method uses a single color for all contours. As an alternative, it's possible to define a ramp of colors. These colors are distributed across the range of contour values in a continuous fashion, giving each contour its own color. If specific contour values are specified, control whether the colors are distributed by index or by value in the upper right portion of the dialog. The following types of color ramps are supported by SMS:
The ''Choose color ramp'' dialog allows the user to select a color palette for the contour display. A selected color palette will be applied to the contours of the selected mesh or grid. The check mark [[File:Check Mark.svg|16 px]] indicates which color palette is currently active. A color palette can be reverse by selecting the '''Reverse ramp colors''' [[File:Palette forward.svg|16 px]] button.
* ''Solid color'' – A single color is used for all values.
* ''Intensity ramp'' – The color ramp is defined as a continuous variation of the intensity of the default solid color. This is the same color used for the ''Solid color'' option.
* ''Hue ramp'' – The ramp is a continuous variation of hues using the hue-saturation-value color model.
* ''User Defined Palettes'' – User defined color ramp.


If using an intensity ramp or hue ramp, the ramp can be edited to include only a portion of the entire ramp, or converted to a ''User Defined Palettes'' for further editing. Modify the portion of the ramp to be used by setting the  minimum and maximum values for hue or intensity with the scroll bars in the ''Color Options'' dialog. These controls specify where the minimum value will be mapped into the ramp and where the maximum value will be mapped. The '''Reverse''' button changes the direction of the color gradation in the color ramp.
The '''Legacy options...''' button will bring up the ''Color Ramp Options'' dialog that was used in earlier versions of XMS. This dialog can only be accessed with editable and custom color palettes.
 
The color palettes are organized in the following folders:

Color palettes can be added to this folder by right-clicking on a color palette in a different folder and selecting the '''Make favorite''' command. Color palettes can be removed from this folder by right-clicking on the color palette and selecting '''Remove from favorites'''.
