How To Use COLOR In Your Data Visualization - BEGINNERS GUIDE

It’s surprisingly easy to make a confusing graph. In this beginners tutorial I'll show you how to use color in your charts, graphs and data visualizations, using the four principles of Sequential, Divergent, Categorical and Highlighting color palette structures. From Excel, to PowerPoint, to PowerBI, to InDesign... Using color properly helps your to improving your storytelling with data skills. The extra resource I mentioned is coolors.co which I LOVE!.

I got a bit confused about highlighting.. if I absolutely need to use colors to categorize numerous amounts of data - are you suggesting to add highlighting as part of the user’s interaction?? Or should we grey out the rest and only highlight one category by default?? Thank you so much for your vid btw, been looking for a tutorial like this for a while now. Glad I found your channel 😊

[@undatable5838]

Thanks for the lovely comment! It really depends on what you’re trying to communicate… if you’re creating a static graph and want to communicate a specific message, I’d only highlight what’s relevant to the message. If it’s interactive, definitely highlight based on the user’s interaction.

I started watching the "How To Choose The Right Graph (Types of Graphs and When To Use Them)" video. Then I clicked the link to watch the next video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmbEqIZjhqeDfs0). And now I'm here; "How To Use COLOR In Your Data Visualization - BEGINNERS GUIDE". All of which is to say, great videos, interesting content, and educational as well as engaging.
