The present invention provides a method and apparatus for displaying selected characteristics of geological features. Color-features, for example, hue, saturation and intensity, or other use selected color-features, are assigned to represent different attribute values of geological feature characteristics. The method provides for displaying multiple characteristics of multidimensional geological or other displays in one presentation. Various characteristics that may be displayed concurrently include geological feature position, shape, coordinates, thickness values, petrophysical values, amplitude values, and velocity values. The invention provides a device adapted for use by a workstation wherein geological data is read into memory and processed into a color display of a subterranean feature, or used in a computer programmed to produce images representative of a subsurface geological features.
