-A colour slider is a slider bar on the side of a [[Plot Commands#Two Dimensional Plots|two dimensional plot]] that is used to adjust the colour axis.
+A color slider is a set of slider bars on the side of a [[Plot Commands#Two Dimensional Plots|two dimensional plot]] that is used to adjust the colour axis. The bottom slider adjusts the lower colour limit and the top slider the upper colour limit. It is originally intended for [[Plot Commands#Two Dimensional Plots|area plots]] to adjust the intensity axis (i.e colour axis).
