This dataset outlines how to apply best practices in color use to data visualization, using the Python programming language and a dataset from Our World in Data. Color in charts is used to represent abstract qualities or quantities and primarily encodes and organizes information visually for the reader. Color in data visualization mainly relies on changes in hue, saturation, and lightness to encode values. You will learn to identify ideal use cases and best practices for employing color in your work. The dataset file is accompanied by a Student Guide and a How-to Guide for creating the example chart using the Python programming language.
