What weather radar color display scheme (e.g. 4-color or other) do you use and why?

Recently was marveling at the differences between 4-color ads-b wx displayed on Foreflight vs XM wx displayed on an Avidyne MFD with more shades than 4. Ignoring the differences in information delay, algorithms for composite radar, etc., it seems reasonable to at least standardize in a cockpit what colors correspond to various dB levels. Trying to understand if there’s any pros/cons to various schemes. ForeFlight, for example, provides the option.
