Then, we get a real depth map (heightmap for example), we create the depth color scale used by it, and put this scale just above the grey SH3 scale. And then, for each SH3 depth intervall (one unique grey color), we select all the colors from the real depth map scale, and convert them into the correct grey. Easy ! But maybe i'm not clear enough...
I think I got you now

That would be easier if we had access to a bathymetric chart with several bands of different colours, each colour representing a range of heights, like the one below:

 

Okay, this is for wind speeds but you get the idea


Even easier if we had a graph showing bathymetric curves:

 



Working on colour gradients, as the ones in the graph we have currently available, makes things much more complicated
