Thanks. At least this side of the border has then the right color. In principle, you can even use arrows instead of the native tics. It is a bit more work, and the "set *tics" commands won't of course work for them, but on the other hand, you can draw slanted tics where needed. One example is this graph of the Planckian colour locus in the CIE 1931 diagram (I don't know whether this has actually been done in gnuplot, but I succeeded to reproduce similar plots with gnuplot): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PlanckianLocus.png Similarly, also coloured tics should be possible (as well as coloured tick labels, like the wavelength labels in the above figure).
