I wanted a nice smooth colour shift from red to green, not going via murky brown, but via brighter shades of orange...
You need some heavy curve control to do that! ;) The example input there is the curve i use for the green (*255!)... i think it works nicely (i used (1-(x^5))*255 for the red (blue=0)).
No doubt it has other uses in statistical analysis etc, though there are functions already up there on that front.
