my bad. that was off the top of my head and very early in the morning.

please try:
color scale colors BlkW {0.1 0.0 0.0} {0.4 0.0 0.0} {0.8 0.0 0.0}

and your black and white scale will change to dark and full red.
if you plan to print this out, you probably want your colors to
be a bit more "dirty" colors, i.e. something like this.

color scale colors BlkW {0.2 0.0 0.0} {0.6 0.1 0.1} {0.8 0.3 0.2}
