Most articles about dataviz style guides will emphasize that they are living documents. But how can you tweak and assess them? This article serves as a starting point for creating surveys to improve your own style guides. @jschwabish @alangwilson @AmyCesal nightingaledvs.com/developin…

Excited to see the paper @max_graze and I wrote together on dataviz style guides published by JAMIA. We'll also be publishing step-by-step palette-building tutorials in Adobe, Excel, PowerBI, and Tableau soon. | In the meantime, check out the article: academic.oup.com/jamia/advan…

I was struggling to find a purpose for uniting fermentation with data visualizations, simply because it's a combination of two of my passions. Now I think I've found a symbiosis - read more about my ideas here and let me know what you think! buttondown.email/datathesens…

Categorical color. When using color to establish categories, the goal is simple: to distinguish one thing (or group of things) from another. This is easiest when there are few categories and it becomes increasingly untenable the more you have. 1/8

Another time semantic color comes into place is when categories have specific color associations. If your categories were oranges, apples, and bananas it would only make sense to use orange, red, and yellow because we intuitively associate the meaning of each color. 7/8

Some organizations have dozens of specific color mappings, others don’t have any. What does your organization need? 8/8

"On the surface, establishing standards for color can seem daunting, but approaching it through a utilitarian lens, the task becomes much more manageable. Color in data visualizations usually takes one of three forms—categorical, sequential, or diverging." datavizstyleguide.com/gettin…

I know of a few museums that have lost objects on their own premises because of a data issue! Right now is the moment to invest into digitization and digital inventories!

UPDATE: George Osborne, chair of trustees at the British Museum, told the BBC Today programme that the museum is starting to recover some of the stolen items. "The truth is we didn't have a complete catalogue of everything."

It's been a long time coming, but finally, it's published! Although written with health practitioners in mind, the article still applies to anyone looking to make color palettes in their organization, or for themselves, and don't know where to start.

New peer-reviewed article about color palettes in data visualization style guides from myself and @max_graze. Thanks especially to @AmyCesal & @alangwilson for our little working group. |

Wrapped up @OutlierConf with a beautiful day in lovely Porto. It's been delightful to meet so many great people, learn a bunch and get inspired. The dataviz community lives up to the hype 💜
