Hi, Olalla,
I suspect you're using a version of Mathematica prior to 6, because 6 uses
a default ColorFunction which colors the levels differently for the minimum
and maximum. In previous versions (at least in 5), the default color function
was "Hue", which has the dubious advantage of being periodic in the visible
color range.
You can change the ColorFunction for your plot by trying something like:
ListContourPlot[<your list>, ColorFunction -> (Hue[0.73*(1 - #)] &)]
