				| I have this graphic that shows the total production of the solar panels on my house:  
 
   
 It's supposed to be bright blue on panels that produced a lot, and dark blue on panels that didn't produce much.  But as you can see, it's all blue, 95kW is light blue, and 65kW is slightly less light blue.  So I threw it in photoshop and desaturated it and tweaked the levels to get this:
 
 
   
 That's better.  Now it's very clear which panels produce more than others.  But I was just wondering, it's not terribly important but I thought it would be cool, is there any way I can make it so the white, high producing panels are bright red, and the black low producing panels are blue, and theres a gradient in between, kinda like infrared thermal imaging uses:
 
 
   
 Except in this case, replace -6°c and 20°c with 60kW and 100kW.  Is that possible to do given the source images I have?
 
 Thanks for any help!  Again, not terribly important, just a fun curiosity of mine.
