Software:ColorBrewer
ColorBrewer is an online tool for selecting map color schemes based on color palettes invented by Cynthia Brewer.[1] It was launched in 2002 and is licensed using Apache 2.0 software license, which is similar to CC-BY-SA 3.0.[2] Suggested color schemes are based on the data type, such as sequential, diverging, or qualitative.
Brewer palettes
Valid names and a full color representation for each palette are shown below. If this is viewed in a compliant browser, moving the mouse cursor over each box will pop up the corresponding color number as a tooltip.
Applications
In 2018, climate scientist Ed Hawkins chose the eight most saturated blues and reds from the ColorBrewer 9-class single-hue palettes in his design of warming stripes graphics, which visually summarize global warming as an ordered sequence of stripes.[3]
