[BUG] Colorbar colors don't match actual colors in contourf plot

[david-macmahon]

Details

Using specified levels with the contourf function, I get colorbar colors that don’t match the plot. This happens when using the GR backend. The Plotly/PlotlyJS backends claim not to support arbitrary contour levels, so this can't be tested with that backend. Here is an example:

julia> z = 50 .- ((-5:5).^2 .+ ((-5:5).^2)');
julia> contourf(z, levels=[0,20,30,45,50], fillcolor=:lightrainbow, clabels=true)

This produces this plot where the 20 to 30 band in the plot doesn’t have the same color as shown on the colorbar for that range:
