Colors for the other maps in Lab 7
In addition to the graduated color maps scheme of tan to very dark blue, I chose the following colors for the following maps:
Electron Gold – Graduated Symbol
I chose electron gold to make the area where the population changes stand out. I needed a color that would not blend in to the rest of the map but had the ability to stand out and represent the area in accordance to its size.
Tuscan Red- Proportional Symbol
I chose tuscan red as another color that would stand out in its representation. Tuscan red is fighting the very dark blue colors on the map that is represented by the graduated color map that is combined with it.
Light Pink- Dot Map
I thought the color pink worked well with the layout of the map. The color is not extreme but it is accurately showing the data without it being too much of a distraction.
