What it does

Data Color Picker is a UI tool for easy to read data visualizations

Create visually-equidistant color schemes for data visualizations using one, two, or many hues.

Use the palette chooser to create a series of colors that are visually equidistant . This is useful for many data visualizations, like pie charts, grouped bar charts, and maps. Note: there are two other modes besides palette mode – check out single-hue scales and divergent scales as well. Creating visually equidistant palettes is basically impossible to do by hand, yet hugely important for data visualizations. Why? When colors are not visually equidistant, it’s harder to (a) tell them apart in the chart, and (b) compare the chart to the key. I’m sure we’ve all looked at charts where you can hardly use the key since the data colors are so similar. It’s better to use use a range of hues so…from learnui.design
