The source, sarm/src/space/Value2dDisplay.m:

        color = (long) *(discrete2dSiteAt(lattice, offsets, x, y));

This gets the value from the grid.

                color = color / modFactor + colorConstant;

This maps it onto [colorConstant, colorConstant+value/modFactor).
It allows to have fine-grained (long, 32bit) values occupy less
space (e.g. 64) within a palette/Colormap which usually holds <256
colors.  Hm, should I put the option of higher resolution value 
layers into the MNGVideo package wish list, what do you say?
