Description

Maximum Green Blue (#41B7C4) is my default or starting color. This color palette is designed for a single color chart/graph with the supporting colors used to make the graph pop. This palette was created for a viz about plastic waste ending in the ocean; for that reason, Silver Pink (#BFA89E) is used to mimic sand. This palette would be suitable for ocean, sea, beach, and water viz.
