    Colorblind-Friendly Color Maps for R

  • I tend to think the continuous color palettes don't look very nice (no matter what the colors are) in various data visualizations. So I often prefer the color brewer discrete smaller sets, https://colorbrewer2.org/#type=sequential&scheme=BuGn&n=3

    I use the viridis inferno on occasion as well, https://github.com/sjmgarnier/viridis, although sometimes it is too dark.
