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 use of color in science is not straightforward and need an in-depth understanding on how humans perceive changes across different hues differently, and how there are changes of how different humans perceive colour, or not at all. Color blindness and different forms of color-vision deficiencies are prevalent and have to be accounted for. Perfect for scientists, educators, students, and color enthusiasts, this color graphic collection helps to understand and communicate science-proof use of colour.
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.
