MATLAB: How to fix the ticks in a colormap

color barcolormap

Hello
I need to fix the color map inside my figure: That the colors I assigned to the figures:
colormap([0 0 1; 0 1 1;0 1 0; 1 0 0;1 1 0])
colorbar('TickLabels',[0 5 20 40 1000 2000])
but I need it to show blue for (0-5) then cyan for (5-20), green (20-40). how can I modify that and give the ticks at the end of each color bar? thank you!

I figured this out actually:
the ticks should be between (0,1) to work:
colormap([0 0 1; 0 1 1;0 1 0; 1 0 0;1 1 0])
colorbar('Ticks', [0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1], 'TickLabels',[0 5 40 1000 1000 2000])
