How to use color in your data visualization

[@yout1877]

Okay, it needs to be stated that you are an absolute champion delivering this presentation in spite of the screaming kids in the background. So poised, so confident. You're an inspiration to all of us working parents.

[@Kornackifs]

Didn't hear anything though.

[@lisamalaniak1130]

Still as relevant today as it was when you first published it. Thanks!

[@storytellingwithdata]

Thanks, Lisa!

[@vaisybutterfly]

You really know how to get your audience glued and engaged in your presentation. That was a very practical and interesting approach used in explaining data visualisation. I learnt so much. Thank you!

[@storytellingwithdata]

Thanks for the kind words :-) Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, Cole! I watched a bunch of your videos (the first was the Google Talks one) and also got your book (thanks Amazon!!!), which I am really devouring right now. I work in a public safety organization in my Country (Brazil), and I am used to see numerous charts and graphics that are mostly dreadful and fail miserably to bring useful information. Your line of work really impressed me and I think we can use your lessons to improve our data visualizations. Congratulations and I hope to see more of your videos on the near future.

Sucha a great presentation, easy to follow & well informing, thank you for all the information 👍🏻

I'm a database developer and really close to data in general but had no idea of how to present SQL query results in a captivating way. Your video has opened a whole new world to me on Data Visualization. I will be seeing more of your videos. Thank you very much!

[@storytellingwithdata]

Thanks for taking the time to watch, and we are so glad you found this video insightful! It's amazing how with a bit of time and thought, you can truly transform how you communicate and drive action at work-even query results. Since you mentioned you are new to this space, you might enjoy our YT mini-workshop, which illustrates key principles for designing more effective visualizations. kzbin.infoHfx1X9WSGYQ?si=vOGor7gR2J97DW_d

love, love, and love this video, thank you for merging your love of data and color ❤

[@ahsanmohammed1]

Absolutely great presentation! Clear. Precise. Concise. Useful. Helpful. Well narrated. A fantastic return on time invested! Thank YOU, my dear, whoever you are! Thank YOU! Much appreciated!

[@ahsanmohammed1]

I’m sorry Cole. Now I do know who you are. Not just (a great) KZbin algorithm suggestion. I watched a few more of your videos. One on the talk at Google, etc. Super. Nice. Like. Again, thank you for it all. People in my circle hardly seem to read books any more. If you rendered your book into a video, and placed it behind a paywall, I’ll gladly recommend it to my circle of family and friends. Thanks.

Just the mention of the "bright yellow VW Beetle" made me smile.

[@mugume]

A very well done tutorial! thank you @storytelling with data

[@jrgarciasanta]

Awesome. Without any doubt the best explanation about the use of color in data visualization. I just bought your book in iBooks and I'm literally going to squeeze it out. Thank you very much for your excellent work.

[@Bibi-fd4td]

Okay. I'm sold on your site and signed up as a member. Thank you

[@thomasaquinas399]

This is a wonderful presentation -- in particular I love your improvements of the Economist graphs here.

[@nassimhadjbenali3819]

This is so well summarized. Excellent, thanks!

[@storytellingwithdata]

That's great to hear, thanks!

[@НосокНесуществующий]

Succinct and informative, very useful video, thank you

[@kahinakram]

Loving all of your talks! I would love to get the reference of the 3-8 seconds of attention before making a decision, do you have it to share? :) Thank in advance!

[@DavidRutten]

Shocking how much difference the various colours made to the generic graph.

[@jasonbrock1333]

I'm loving your work. I just started your latest book and feel like watching the videos is cheating a little. :)

[@phongtranquoc5813]

very well tutorial! thank you

[@DustinRyan]

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@GregKramerTenaciousData]

Great stuff. Thank you Cole!

[@TWGTravelwithGandharv]

Fabulous work!!!

[@sahillohiya7658]

Loved your work keep going.

[@iamkit]

Great lecture, thanks!

[@udaypamphilos]

Hi Cole, Can you tell me what is the type of chart/graph/visualization used at 12:12 ?

[@storytellingwithdata]

That's a slopegraph! Learn more in this post from 2018: www.storytellingwithdata.com/blog/2018/6/19/june-swdchallenge-recap-slopegraphs

[@Vishuddhabbbx]

Favorite video! Good Stuff!

[@KarineNahon]

Great lecture. Thanks

[@anoubhav]

What tool do you use to make these visualizations?

[@storytellingwithdata]

All of our visuals are created using standard Excel and PowerPoint. For some tutorials, check out our 'brute force Excel' blog posts here: www.storytellingwithdata.com/blog?tag=Brute+Force+Excel

[@EdmundRobinson]

An excellent lecture and teaser for your book. It worked. I just order it along with one other visualisation text. If it is in your domain please consider a lecture on interactive visualisation. There are many platforms for interactive visualisation (e.g. www.wolfram.com/cdf/ ) and I would love to see a lecture specifically addressing a few pitfalls and recommendations.

[@ahsanmohammed1]

24:35 - Red? I see orange. 🤔

[@radwanfakeir]

amazing Cole
