Description

This palette was created for IronViz 2021 competition. The theme was How Is The Oceans' Health. In this viz, I would have text, positive and negative info as well information to highlight.

I start the viz by finding a title slide image. I then explored the colors in the image using Image Color Picker. That is where I selected my background colors. Next, I used Coolors.co to choose colors that worked both in harmony and highlighting with the selected background colors.

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.
