User:Wikkiwonkk, thanks for your work on this. If I may make a suggestion, this map could use some green, so that it can be more easily seen which countries have good gini coefficients. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:04, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Wikipedia help: Using colours Mixing different hues of colours to represent non-diverging sequential data isn't good for aiding understanding; doubly so with red and green for people with red-green colour blindness. - Wikkiwonkk (talk) 03:53, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- I disagree. It'd take less brainpower for me to read if it followed a standard red/yellow/green format. Right now all I see are red and yellow. The white is hard to see, because it looks like ocean. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:48, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- I strongly recommend reading the Wikipedia colour help page and https://betterfigures.org/2015/06/23/picking-a-colour-scale-for-scientific-graphics/ Red-yellow-green, besides being just a not good palette, is divergent. The data we're working with isn't divergent. Now if we were plotting GINI changes, how much inequality has increased or decreased in each country, that would be divergent and a palette like https://colorbrewer2.org/?type=diverging&scheme=RdYlBu&n=7 would be appropriate. - Wikkiwonkk (talk) 21:47, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
