Usage

  • Helpful in showing data with a gender grouping

Description

For this viz, I used my typical go-to color for male (#9567FE Medium Slate Blue) and female (#FD6320 Orange Red). When working with gender data, I avoid the blue/pink combo and the bias those colors convey. I then used complementary colors for text, backgrounds, and title for the rest of the viz.

Tableau Palette Code

Add the code snippet to your Preferences.tps, a xml file found in My Tableau Repository folder in your Documents directory. I typically Place above the </preferences> tag at the end. You can use a text or xml editor.
