Qing,
Yes. One easy way to do this is is to put very large negative and 
positive values at the ends of your V array, for example
V = [-100, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 100]
It doesn't matter how large these outside values are, so long as they 
encompass all your data.  With the default contourf kwarg 
clip_ends=True, the color scaling will not use them.
