|Rvalue = red value   (default 0)
|Gvalue = green value (default 0)
|Bvalue = blue value  (default 0)
|Rmax   = maximum value to scale red channel to   (default 10)
|Rmin   = minimum value to scale red channel to   (default 0)
|Gmax   = maximum value to scale green channel to (default 10)
|Gmin   = minimum value to scale green channel to (default 0)
|Bmax   = maximum value to scale blue channel to  (default 10)
|Bmin   = minimum value to scale blue channel to  (default 0)
}}

Example 2, mixed scale

{{Color scale| value = 4.0 |Rmin=7|Rmax=4|Gmin=7|Gmax=0|Bmin=4|Bmax=30}}
{{Color scale| value = 4.5 |Rmin=7|Rmax=4|Gmin=7|Gmax=0|Bmin=4|Bmax=30}}
{{Color scale| value = 5.0 |Rmin=7|Rmax=4|Gmin=7|Gmax=0|Bmin=4|Bmax=30}}
{{Color scale| value = 5.5 |Rmin=7|Rmax=4|Gmin=7|Gmax=0|Bmin=4|Bmax=30}}
{{Color scale| value = 6.0 |Rmin=7|Rmax=4|Gmin=7|Gmax=0|Bmin=4|Bmax=30}}
{{Color scale| value = 6.5 |Rmin=7|Rmax=4|Gmin=7|Gmax=0|Bmin=4|Bmax=30}}
