If SPECTRA finds the symbol use_colour_table, it fills the colour table from the file gra_colour_table (logical name). If the logical name does not exist, it reads online_dir:colour_table.dat. This file consists of three column (red, green, blue), each varying from 0 to 1.
If gqe_id is not supplied, SPECTRA chooses a default: The selected colour varies from 0 to maximum intensity.
See the section 10.5 for details about the colour concept.
