Description

This palette was created for a data set with data split into three groups: Above Average, Below Average, and Average. Since the data, which is average, is not essential to the story of a Light Gray ( #D5D5D5 ) color was used. Below Average used a red shade (Indian Red #E15759), while Above-average used Blue tone (Green Sheen #76B7B2).
