Index of per-layer ColorMap_v1.3 XML documents published at https://gibs.earthdata.nasa.gov/colormaps/v1.3/. Each entry maps a layer identifier to the colormap URL; clients dereference the URL to obtain RGB stops, value ranges, and legend metadata. Cached 7 days - colormaps change rarely once a layer ships. Data: NASA GIBS / NASA Earthdata (US public domain).
