Colour-blind friendly palettes
Visually accessible colour palettes for inclusive graphic design contain only colours that are also discernible when converted to grey-scale.
The scientific colour map batlow is a perceptually uniform, colourblind-friendly palette designed for accurate and accessible data visualisation. Developed by Fabio Crameri, batlow ensures that scientific maps and plots are both aesthetically pleasing and true to the data, making it a go-to choice for researchers seeking clarity and inclusivity in their figures.
Perceptually-uniform colour gradients
Accurate colour scales for data visualisation have a constant local colour contrast between neighbouring colour values along the individual gradients.
Scientific colour map demonstration
A photograph of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, the Earth from space, and an apple demonstrate the superiority of scientific colour maps.
