This might be a convenient way of defining color functions:
ClearAll[cfun]
cfun[colors_List, brkPts_List] /; Length@colors == Length@brkPts :=
Function[z,
Which @@ Sequence@Flatten@Transpose[{Less[z, #] & /@ brkPts,
colors}]]
colors = {White, RoyalBlue, White, Red, White};
brkPts = {-0.6, -0.42, 0.4, 0.6, Infinity};
ContourPlot[f[x, y], {
x, 0, Pi}, {y, 0, Pi}, PlotPoints -> 30, ColorFunctionScaling ->
False,
ColorFunction -> cfun[colors, brkPts], Contours -> contourvalues];
colors = {Yellow, Peru, Salmon, Apricot, HotPink, Linen};
brkPts = {-0.6, -0.42, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, Infinity};
Timing[ContourPlot[f[x, y], {x, 0, Pi}, {y, 0, Pi}, PlotPoints -> 30,
ColorFunctionScaling -> False, ColorFunction -> cfun[colors,
brkPts],
Contours -> contourvalues];]

Jun Lin,
Here is an example.
Needs["Graphics`Colors`"]
Let's make a contour plot of this function.
f[x_, y_] := Sin[x]Sin[2y]
Let's specify the exact contours to use. I got rid of the 0. contour
because
it is difficult to obtain in this plot.
contourvalues = Complement[Range[-1, 1, 0.2], {0.}]
{-1, -0.8, -0.6, -0.4, -0.2, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.}
Now we define a ColorFunction for the plot. I actually colored two
different
bands to show how you can make a general color function to give each
band a
desired color.
cfun[z_] :=
Which[
-0.6 < z < -0.42, RoyalBlue,
0.4 < z < 0.6, Red,
True, White]
ContourPlot[f[x, y], {x, 0, Pi}, {y, 0, Pi},
PlotPoints -> 30,
ColorFunctionScaling -> False,
ColorFunction -> cfun,
Contours -> contourvalues];
Using the option ColorFunctionScaling -> False says that the z value
will be
the actual value of f[x,y]. Otherwise, in general, it will be scaled
between
0 and 1. It is easier to write a color function when z is the actual
value
of the function.

I need to fill the space between two contour lines, C1 and C2, with
red color, and leave the other place white. What trick I have to use?
Any suggestion and advice will be appreciated.
