Hi,

Sorry but, SeaDAS 7.3.2. can only read in the *.cpd format.  SeaDAS in the future may support other formats.  SeaDAS 7.4 (soon to be released) will export some other color palette formats, (namely cpt and pal), but not import.  Regarding the cpd format: the "isLogScaled" field enables SeaDAS to properly display the color bar.

Here are 2 example cpd files showing you the fields.  Most fields should be self-explanatory. 
--------------------------------------------
# Color Palette Definition File
numPoints=3
isLogScaled=false
shortDescription=A 3 point gray-scale linear-scaled palette
color0=0,0,0
color1=128,128,128
color2=255,255,255
sample0=0
sample1=.5
sample2=1
-------------------------------------------------------------
# Color Palette Definition File
numPoints=3
isLogScaled=true
shortDescription=A 3 point gray-scale log-scaled palette
color0=0,0,0
color1=128,128,128
color2=255,255,255
sample0=0.01
sample1=0.1
sample2=1
