Hello Monks. I am using Color::Spectrum to generate colour codes. (Which is a very cool module, thanks). I have a hash of peptides, and apply colour codes to each peptide which is sorted by value. However, Color::Spectrum seems to apply colour changes evenly, and I cannot see an option to have the changes in colour vary according the value of the keys. Moreover, as the colours change 'smoothly' from top to bottom, the peptides with the same value e.g. the last four that have the value 1 are not all the same colour

Does anyone have module or method that (a) allows colour to change with respect to values and (b) provide a consistency so that keys of the same value are the same colour? Many thanks. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Color::Spectrum qw (generate);

$uniqueBinders = scalar (keys %bindersHash);
my @colours = generate($uniqueBinders, '#FF0000', '#0060BF');
