Using Color Contrast to Explore and Communicate Scientific Data
Description: Part of the Color Theory tutorial created by Francesca Samsel, this tangential tutorial examines the use of hue, contrast and luminance to facilitate the exploration of scientific data. Through an appropriate and informed use of color contrast theory, Samsel argues, exploration and feature identification in large, continuous data sets improves drastically.
