Hi Renyue,

This list shows all of the colormaps available for anything that uses
matplotlib (such as projections, profiles, but not anything that uses
write_image or write_png or snapshot):

http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Show_colormaps

You can also use these colormaps anywhere:

algae (default)
kamae
black_green
cubehelix

There are also a whole bunch of IDL and other colormaps that are
accessible, although I have not used them, which you can see a list of
by doing:

from yt.visualization._colormap_data import color_map_luts
print "\n".join(sorted(color_map_luts))
