 ## Keyword arguments
-- `colorscheme::ColorScheme`: Color scheme from ColorSchemes.jl.
+- `colorscheme::Union{ColorScheme,Symbol}`: Color scheme from ColorSchemes.jl.
   Defaults to `seismic`.
 - `reduce::Symbol`: Selects how color channels are reduced to a single number to apply a color scheme.
   The following methods can be selected, which are then applied over the color channels
