[mapserver-users] color standards in layers

[pcreso at pcreso.com]

Cynthia  Brewer's site (http://colorbrewer2.org/) offers the option to select colour schemes to avoid problems with colour blindness. I don't know if they comply with US federal standards, but it would seem a good place to look.

      All,    

      
    
      Another piece of the equation along these lines, is paying attention to color blindness types etc. There are some federal standards out there as a matter of fact related to the serving up of color content over the web related to color blindness.    

      
    
      Something else to think about.

                    Two places I'd suggest looking:

cpt city provides a wide range of palettes for mapping & other data that can be adapted to mapserver, including several standard palettes:
http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/

and colorbrewer allows you to set up & preview various optimised palettes for maps:
http://colorbrewer2.org/ (also as Cynthia Brewer's palettes at the above site)

Cheers,

  Brent Wood
