Keeping colors consistent between figures

Hello, I have basic MATLAB (2012b), and no toolboxes. I've written the below program (with help) to plot data over a map, and turn the contours transparent so the map below can be seen. I used the contourfcmap (can be found on MATLAB Central, I added varargout{1} = c; and varargout{2} = h; to the end of the function to return c, h), which initially makes the figure have consistent colors, but once I use clabel the colors revert to whatever colormap it wants. I also tried commenting out the clabel part, and when I do this the findobj/facealpha now changes the colors back. I'd like to have the same color levels between figures (so 30-35 m/s is always colored the same color). Is there a way to make clabel and findobj use the same colormap I used in contourfcmap?

for da_month = 1:2 for da_level = 1:2

        if da_month == 1, da_month2 = 'January'; da_month3='1'; end;
        if da_month == 2, da_month2 = 'February'; da_month3='2'; end;

        if da_level == 1, da_level2 = '10mb'; end;
        if da_level == 2, da_level2 = '30mb'; end;        

        file_str = ['c:\data2\mid_east_month_' da_month3 '_hr_24_lvl_00' da_level2 '.csv'];

        B = xlsread(file_str);   %read in the wind data from excel
        da_grid = zeros(25, 49);   %initialize matrix with zeros

        V = [0:5:60];  %vector of levels for contouring

        for i = 1:25  %convert lat/lon data in column form to x,y grid
            for j = 1:49        
               row_num = j + i*49 - 49;
               da_grid(i,j) = B(row_num,10); 
            end
        end

        lon = 30:2.5:150;  %vector of longitude values
        lat = 55:-2.5:-5;  %vector of latitude values
        lat = lat';  %transpose to column vector

        cfig = figure('Position', [100, 100, 1400, 800]); %set position of figure on screen

        da_map = 'c:\data2\the_map.gif';  %line map of the region
        [I,Imap] = imread(da_map);  %read in the map    
        Itc = ind2rgb(I,Imap);  % convert image with indexed colors to true color image
        ih = image('XData',lon([1 end]),'YData',lat([1 end]),'CData',Itc); %show image

        hold on;  %now do the data contours

        [c, h] = contourfcmap(lon, lat, da_grid, V, jet(12));

        set(gca, 'Ytick', -5:5:55); 
        set(gca, 'xtick', 30:10:150); 

        cl = clabel(c,h,'FontSize',8,'BackgroundColor','w');  %make contour labels
        for i=cl'
            istring = get(i,'String');
            set(i,'String',[istring(:)', ' m/s']);
        end

        chf = findobj(h,'-property','FaceAlpha');
        set(chf,'FaceAlpha',.3)
        yl = ylabel('Latitude (degrees)'); 
        xl = xlabel('Longitude (degrees)');  

        da_title = [da_month2 ' ' da_level2 ' Wind Speed (m/s)'];    
        title(da_title);

        hold off;

        da_title = ['c:\data2\wind_speed_' da_month2 '_' da_level2];
        print(gcf, '-djpeg', '-r500', da_title);
        close
    end
