Try out a palette based on this conversation.

@johnmackintosh, am interested in your thoughts on colour hierarchy.

The infamous colour dataset that broke everything 😭 .

[johnmackintosh]

first attempt at a palette - if you like it I can do some more

              "#dca349", # Earth yellow
              "#ea4683", # French rose
              "#cd1a4b", # Rose red
              "#b43f5d",# Raspberry Rose
              "#6e4780",# Eminence
              "#49246a",# Tekhelet
              "#415aa7", #YInMn Blue
              "#0733d1",# ? blue
              "#000078", # Navy Blue)

The same colours, just not in the right order.
And with an extra one.
But apart from that, identical

Need to test it out for those with perception difficulties

Firstly. I think that blue is the blue I need! Thank you :)

Secondly. wait a sec on blue palette. I'm coming back around to the monochrome with animation blue.

Because it's also a homage to a copresenter, which is cute. The monochrome theme is consistent with Destiny's loading screens. And the speedrunner who I'm presenting with worked on Destiny. His favourite colour is blue, and he loves Carl Sagan and The Pale Blue Dot. So, I'm thinking monochrome with blue highlight. Then each plot can have the caption "anatomecha is The Pale Blue Dot".

Finally; I could really do with your help debugging the rain cloud... I'll ping you in a new issue.

pretty sweet set of colours, if I say so myself.
Feel free to use them, or I will probably wrap them up into a sick theme for PowerBI or something

[softloud]

Oooh now you have me wondering how I can get a palette like this into tableau....
