I did not find any mention of this in your previous post. But it is ok.

It is not really easy to explain with words. Showing would have been  
easier.
Anyways I plot a property of a bilayer system: this property is high  
in the tail region, low in the
head groups region, and medium in the solvent.
With the volumeslice it looks like. averything is fine except in the  
head group region which is
shown low on the slice but in the "middle" of the head region is get  
the same color than the
tail region (representative of high values).

Note that I do not give volume map to VMD but I build it with it from  
raw data. That might be the
problem. I've not been looking further. The only thing sure is that I  
have no control of the
colors on the slice in this way. I may need to create an new  
representation after changing the
color scale.
