They might also be useful as isosurface functions...there would be some 
interesting possibilities.

It generally helps to use smaller color values in a density map
than in a color map. If you use too high a number the colors wash
out such as seen in your posted image. Try dividing them by 3
and see how they look.

Of course, this depends on the thickness of the media, the way the 
colors layer on each other, and the color used for the media, which acts 
as a multiplier for the density, etc. If the media is low density or if 
the distance you see through it is small, you need to use higher color 
values.
It can also help if the colors vary more than they do in the pigment, 
since the media will tend to blend them together in areas.

Looks like you could do some good water using this
method.
