That did it! I have working false-color now; all that remains is to
integrate it into the rest of my program.

For what it's worth, the color sequence I used does the following
ramps (percentages indicate distance along the texture):

Red: 0 at 35% to 1 at 67%, held through to 86%, down to .5 at 100%
Green: 0 at 10% to 1 at 39%, held through to 61%, down to 0 at 90%
Blue: .5 at 0% to 1 at 10%, held through to 31%, down tot 0 at 65%

This starts at dark blue, then goes to cyan, green, yellow, orange,
red. I got the percentages by manually examining the output of using
matplotlib's savefig function.
