density_map{spherical color_map{[0 rgb 0][1 rgb 1]} scale Sphere_Radius}

Sphere_Radius would have to be either the radius of the sphere, or you leave
that out when declaring the unit-sphere (sphere{0,1 hollow etc}) and apply
transformations AFTER the materials.

To change the colors, just use different rgb values. Note that the 0 index
of the color_map will be everywhere around the sphere. The spherical-pattern
begins at the origin with color_map 1 and fills a sphere of radius 1 until
color_map 0.

Tim
