The suitability of certain classes of color combinations for overlay of data attributes in map-based information visualization are considered here through user evaluations. The color combination classes considered include: (1) Harmonious colors, (2) opposing (i.e., opponent) colors, (3) high saturated colors, (4) low saturated colors, (5) high lightness colors, (6) low lightness colors, and (7) disharmonious colors. The evaluations focus on noticeability, in particular of the first six classes versus disharmonious colors since earlier work has suggested disharmonious colors may be advantageous. The first class, of which there are a variety of artistic color theories, is of special interest here. |
