Usage
Highlight data that is in crisis or warning condition
Description
This palette was created for a data set with data split into three groups: Increasing, Stable, and Decreasing Populations. The goal of the viz was to highlight the decreasing populations indicating a warning. A Crimson (#DC143C) was selected to highlight the warning or crisis state data. Two gray colors were used to represent the data for the Stable Populations -Light Gray (#CDCECD) and Increasing Populations - Silver Chalice (#ACB0B1). This allows the data in the warning state to pop out and have full focus of the viewer. The color of the titles, line, background and footer was selected to focus on the warning state's data.
