[adegenet-forum] Change Colors in Colorplot()

[Romain Lehnebach Cirad]

Thibaut,

Thank you very much to respond so quickly.

I tested 8 available combinations, but unfortunately, none produce 
exactly what we expect.
However one combination is better than others, and it's a first step ...
Any other ideas are always welcomed.

Thank you again.

Best regards;
Romain
