How can I use ONLY the central 90% of the spectrum, not the whole range? For example, I do not like to see the lowest values in purple, but in deep blue color. 

tzvw={{394.5, 0.58, -0.56391}, {394.5, 0.56, -0.580086}, {394.5, 
0.54, -0.56415}, {394.5, 0.52, -0.561491}, {394.5, 
0.5, -0.572876}, <<3267>>, {90557.4, 0.1, -0.358004}, {90557.4, 
0.08, -0.2929}, {90557.4, 0.06, -0.240185}, {90557.4, 
0.04, -0.211586}, {90557.4, 0.02, -0.156428}}


 ShowLegend[
 ListContourPlot[tzvw,
  ColorFunction -> ColorData["Rainbow"], 
  Contours -> Range[-2.25, 2.75, 0.25], ContourLines -> False,
  FrameTicks -> {ticklst, Automatic, None, None},
  PlotRange -> {Automatic, {0, 0.52}, {-2.25, 2.75}}, FrameStyle -> 20,
  AspectRatio -> 0.3, ImageSize -> 700,
  "DelaunayDomainScaling" -> True,
  RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, y <= 0.5]]

Reset to default

You can Rescale your points that are passed to ColorFunction so that they're between 0.05 and 0.95 as in the example below:

data = Table[Sin[i + j^2], {i, 0, 3, 0.1}, {j, 0, 3, 0.1}];
ListContourPlot[data, ColorFunction -> (ColorData["Rainbow"][
    Rescale[#, {0, 1}, {0.05, 0.95}]] &)]

enter image description here

    $\begingroup$ beat me by 20 seconds. BTW, the default setting for ColorFunctionScaling is True, so you should use Rescale[#, {0, 1}, {0.05, 0.95}] (or set ColorFunctionScaling -> False). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Looks fine in the first glance but the result is more or less monochrome! $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks R.M but how can I send you the whole tzvw. Then you can see what happens if I apply your approach. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @K-1 You can't send files through this site. You should try and reduce your problem to a simpler sub-problem that can be easily posted in the question. It needn't even be your actual problem as long as it conveys your problem clearly. $\endgroup$
