• With ColorFunction->func, the arguments supplied to func are as follows:
• Raster a
  Plot ,ListLinePlot ,ListLogPlot x, y
  ParametricPlot x, y, u or x, y, u, v
  RegionPlot x, y
  ArrayPlot ,ReliefPlot a
  ContourPlot ,ListContourPlot f contour levels
  DensityPlot ,ListDensityPlot f
  ContourPlot3D ,ListContourPlot3D x, y, z, f
  Plot3D ,ListPlot3D ,ListSurfacePlot3D ,ListPointPlot3D x, y, z
  ParametricPlot3D x, y, z, u or x, y, z, u, v
  RegionPlot3D x, y, z
  Image3D ,Raster3D a
• With the usual default setting ColorFunctionScaling->True , all arguments supplied to func are scaled to lie in the range 0 to 1.
• With ColorFunctionScaling->False , original unscaled values are used.
• ColorFunction->"name" is equivalent to ColorFunction->(ColorData ["name"][#i]&) where the slot used is as follows: Plot , ListPlot , etc.: #2 (); ArrayPlot , ReliefPlot : #1 (); ContourPlot , DensityPlot , etc.: #1 (); ContourPlot3D , etc.: #4 (); Plot3D , etc.: #3 ().
• The list of possible color function names is given by ColorData ["Gradients"].
• The function specified by ColorFunction must return color directives such as RGBColor and Hue or named colors such as Red and Blue .
• It can also return Opacity , as well as Glow and Specularity .
• Combinations of directives can be specified using Directive [g₁,g₂,…].
• In 3D graphics, ColorFunction by default specifies diffuse colors for surfaces.
• If an explicit setting is given for ColorRules , MeshShading , or ContourShading , it is used in preference to the setting for ColorFunction .
