About colors and colorsets

Example of a JewelGrid with object colors (left: blue for sides, red for faults, and green for top) and property colors (right: a certain porosity value is displayed for each cell)    click to enlarge

You can visualize all reservoir data in many different ways: in 3D views, 2D views, maps and well correlation views for example. To allow you to do this as effectively as possible, each object has its own color and colorsets. Properties also have their own colors and colorsets.

When displaying objects, the colors used depend on whether you are displaying a property. If you have selected a property for display in the JewelExplorer, the property colorset will be used to show the object properties. If no property has been selected in the JewelExplorer, the object colors will be used to display the object.

You can specify both the object colors and property color sets using either the object context menu, or the Property Inspector (Workspace > Panes > Inspector).

You have a number of visualization options for wells, wellbores and logs. Below are two different types of wellbore renderings, cone shape and line, while the log is visualized in 3D. The second image shows three different ways of using the log colors (red in this example), with two different colorsets. The well derricks and the wellbore trajectory can also have different colors.

You can also use the Colorsets pane to create and edit colorsets and save them for use as your default colorset for other projects. For more on this, see The Colorsets pane.
