It's #FigureFriday, so let's chat about my favorite subject: color palettes 🎨 for climate science visualization! (1/12)

First, why is it important? Put simply: a beautiful figure can communicate your results more effectively than text. It can make a figure more understandable to a public audience. So it is worth it to put care into your figure design. (2/12)
First, if you're plotting up climate model data, especially anomalies, I highly recommend Cynthia Brewer's palettes on ColorBrewer. BrBG is my go-to for precip anomalies, and RdBu is a natural for temperature. (3/12) https://t.co/FiCgxyahIp
The sequential palettes are also great if you've got data going in one direction. Here's the Brewer "blues" at work for a figure showing LGM T change. (4/12)
But what about line graphs? If you are paleoclimatologist like me, you are probably plotting a bunch of squiggly lines. For this, I suggest designing a palette for your *entire paper* ahead on time, and then plot stuff in this palette in every figure. (5/12)
My favorite tool for palette design is Coolors (thanks @talia_and for the tip!). This awesome app helps you design palettes with colors that harmonize. (6/12) https://t.co/HIirTdAgKd
For example, here is the Coolors palette I designed for our Review paper in @ScienceMagazine. I wanted to use bold colors that also harmonized with Brewer colors for the global maps in the paper. (7/12)
Coolors allows you to dynamically check color-blind compatibility, but I also love Color Oracle for this, which flips everything on your computer screen to color-blind views. (8/12) https://t.co/w2XREsQeXD
Here's a figure from our Past Climates review on the Coolors palette, in real color, and then what it looks it for folks with deuteranopia (red-green) color blindness. (9/12)
I don't always choose bold colors...sometimes I'm interested in softer looks...like here is a blue-brown gradient palette I'm working on for an upcoming paper. It just depends on what suits your work. (10/12)
Another source for color ideas is cpt-city. Many of these palettes are for graphic design, but it has the NCAR NCL palettes, cmocean palettes from @thyngkm, various semi- and continuous- versions of the Brewer palettes, and many other jewels (11/12) https://t.co/1RYQH1iT0i
Anyway, hope these tips help! What are your favorite color palettes? I'm always looking for good ideas. (12/12) 🌟

At the moment, POTUS is sitting on a stack of Trump cards that he's just waiting to unleash...a royal flush!

@John_F_Kennnedy @Pamelal33566076 @GeorgePapa19 @whitebunny @atvguy @stormis_us


He has court cases that will go to the Supreme Court and thanks to the Texas case, he's now aware how to file them properly... under article 3 not 2...

so the SCOTUS will be forced to listen.....He now has the DNI report. Barr stepped down and can now be a witness.....he did his job. Durham is special counsel and can prosecute, in any state....

He’s letting civil, criminal, and federal courts fail to handle the situation properly.....so he can use military tribunals. He has ALL the data from the NSA, the Kraken supercomputer, the Alice supercomputer and likely many more computers, unknown to us....

He has the dueling electors from 7 state legislatures. He has VP Pence, as the final arbiter of which ballots to accept.. the NDAA, the national emergency, the 14th amendment, the 2018 executive order, the 2017 very first EO, the Patriot Act, the FISA warrants,
