The best use of colour in cartography

In class on Monday, Feb. 7 we will be talking about some important conventions for the use of colour in cartography. More challenging are those "grey areas" (well, not literally grey), where you can choose from any number of colour choices. How to pick?!

We will be going over a few online tools that help you to make up your mind, such as ColorBrewer and Color Your Map: fun to play around with and very helpful in assisting you to make wise colour selections.
