Dear Thao, Below is a list of the numbers, label names and colour information used in the MGH colourmaps. I think this should give you the information that you require (plus quite a few labels which are not present in the atlases). This comes from a lookup table provided with FreeSurfer. We provide the same colourmaps as MGH-Subcortical and MGH-Cortical. I hope this helps. All the best, Mark #No. Label Name: R G B A 0 Unknown 0 0 0 0 1 Left-Cerebral-Exterior 70 130 180 0 2 Left-Cerebral-White-Matter 245 245 245 0 3 Left-Cerebral-Cortex 205 62 78 0 4
