Is there a good way to select visually distinct colors? It's easy to do one self if it's only a few colors, but it gets particularly hard the more than 6 or so colors. I have a use case where I need up to 20 or 30 visually distinct colors, and it's hard.
EDIT: Found this which seems reasonable: https://sashamaps.net/docs/resources/20-colors/ https://sashamaps.net/docs/resources/20-colors/
- NelsonMinar 1y agoYou found a solution but be aware it's almost always impossible for people to recognize or pick 20 categories of things. Another visualization technique which can help in addition to color is different pattern fills.
- Sammi 1y agoYes. But different checkered patterns are also super ugly, which is a real concern when you're trying to attract customers and make a living.
