I loved the attention to detail and gestalt and colour theory, especially the part where you talk about using colours easily seen in nature as opposed the colours of a rainbow. Glad to have stumbled upon this corner of Substack :)

Thank you so much for reading! I love picking out a good color palette for my data visualizations (I probably spend too much time on this!). But keeping the colors simple and with gradients/tones found in nature really help facilitate interpretation.

I really like how you explain how much thought has gone into each of these graphs, and highlighted some of the design decisions you've made. Also love that you slipped in some Studio Ghibli colour palettes!

Thank you for reading! I love discussing design elements with others and I'm glad that you found the backstories entertaining. When I discovered the Studio Ghibli palettes, I knew I had to use them in some way!
