Weren't you concerned that the names in the annotation were incorrect? You get to pick the names and the colors to be whatever you want to be. By default, it uses FreeSurferColorLUT.txt.

dear doug,

thank you for your response.  for the custom color table, what do i assign for the different anatomical names and color values?  why wouldn't the names and colors in FreeSurferColorLUT.txt work?

cheers,

Arno, you need to create a custom color table (--ctab).
