Dwell Bands
Robert P. Munafo, 2011 Feb 28.
The dwell bands are the regions of solid color that appear in a standard view of the Mandelbrot Set; they are also called level sets. All points in a dwell band have the same dwell. They are separated from one another by the "contour lines" or lemniscates.

each dwell band is plotted in a distinct color
