I have this graphic that shows the total production of the solar panels on my house:



It's supposed to be bright blue on panels that produced a lot, and dark blue on panels that didn't produce much. But as you can see, it's all blue, 95kW is light blue, and 65kW is slightly less light blue. So I threw it in photoshop and desaturated it and tweaked the levels to get this:



That's better. Now it's very clear which panels produce more than others. But I was just wondering, it's not terribly important but I thought it would be cool, is there any way I can make it so the white, high producing panels are bright red, and the black low producing panels are blue, and theres a gradient in between, kinda like infrared thermal imaging uses:



Except in this case, replace -6°c and 20°c with 60kW and 100kW. Is that possible to do given the source images I have?

Thanks for any help! Again, not terribly important, just a fun curiosity of mine.

Use Gradient Map adjustment layer.
