Colour Schemes

“Graphics with scientific data become clearer when the colours are chosen carefully. It is convenient to have good default schemes ready for each type of data, with colours that are:

• distinct for all people, including colour-blind readers;
• distinct from black and white;
• distinct on screen and paper;
• matching well together.

This site shows such schemes, developed with the help of mathematical descriptions of colour differences and the two main types of colour-blind vision.”
