Ok, I understand.
I think that my linear interpolation code has to somewhat be written in a norm 
instead.
At some time, I have looked at examples on Matplotlib website, and at the code 
of pyshared/matplotlib/colors.py, but without having the "flash" to write the 
norm. The next time I will try to write a norm instead (I will put the code 
here of course).
