Making a color index is even more difficult because I use transparency on the map, that distorts colors. It's not easy to produce an automatically generated map that is still readable, so my focus is on making the various information types distinguisheable, not as exact as possible.
And before this gets discussed all geospatial layers will use current day data, there is no such thing as WWII GIS files.
But thanks the point of this thread is to collect suggestions so I will put "exact color index" down under nice to have.

I've played around with something called Virtual Ocean. It's pretty nifty and allows the user to create contour lines as well as define the color scheme for the depth.

I'm not sure if this helps, or even how to integrate the data. It has a function to save the data as jpg and several other formats. Maybe this is useful?
