(It's the default go-to colour scheme for d3.js devs.)

- tptacek 13y agoColorbrewer is so great. If you haven't clicked through: it generates sequential, diverging (contrasty) and quantitative color schemes, of the sort you'd use in map coloring. It's one of those Tufte-y sorts of design resources, like _Cartographic Relief Presentations_, and it's extremely simple to use when building stuff.
- kmfrk 13y agoHere is a hackish way to show d3-creator Mike Bostock's samples that use Colorbrewer: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Abl.ocks.org%2Fmbostock%20colorbrewer https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Abl.ocks.o.... These don't require Flash - "obviously", I'm tempted to say.
