An algorithm for creating color palettes for data visualization
I’m a self-taught designer.1 This has its upsides: I learn at my own pace (in my case, slowly over decades and counting), I design my own curriculum, and I don’t have to do any homework or pass any tests.
But it also has a serious downside: because I don’t have to learn anything, I skip the things that intimidate me. That’s why, for years and years, I’ve avoided learning much of anything about color.
