Color combinations don't communicate default ordering
awunderground opened this issue · comments
The graphics style guide offers no guidance on the default or suggested ordering of colors for data visualizations. It would be great if the palette with eight colors reflected the default order for adding colors.
The subsequent groupings should then reflect the order from above.

adds colors in this order: #1696d2
, #fdbf11
, #000000
, #d2d2d2
, #ec008b
, #55b748
, #5c5859
, #db2b27
Per @bchartoff 's recommendation, the order for categorical colors should be:
"#1696d2", "#fdbf11", "#000000", "#d2d2d2", "#ec008b", "#55b748", "#5c5859", "#db2b27”
(Cyan, yellow, black, grey, magenta, green, space grey, red)
Addressed in #21
