So rainbow palettes that have been designed to have smooth transitions and reduced dark/light/dark transitions may be the best of both worlds.
*If* you have normal color vision.
Here’s the classic #endrainbow paper: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
A rebuttal: www.computer.org/csdl/magazin...
Compare to the original figure, with a palette that is discontiguous, lacks obvious ordering, and is so saturated that the annotations are hard to see.

Such a great short course on different aspects of #DataViz at #EGU today! The room was absolutely packed — people were sitting on the floor (hey, @egu.eu maybe consider a bigger room next time?😉) And it's always a pleasure attending @fabiocrameri.ch's presentations!
#endrainbow, yep.

(a) Location of records mentioned in in Davtian et al. (2021) Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology. (b) Close-up of the North Atlantic from (a). (c) Close-up of the Iberian Margin from (b) with study site names. Solid arrows represent surface currents whereas dashed arrows represent deep currents. PC, Portugal Current; AzC, Azores Current; CC; Canary Current; IPC; Iberian Poleward Current; MOW, Mediterranean Outflow Waters; NADW; North Atlantic Deep Waters; AAIW, Antarctic Intermediate Waters; and AABW, Antarctic Deep Waters. The colored sea surface temperature (SST) gradients represent Pathfinder SST V5 climatology for the 1982–2010 period (4 km resolution) and employ the batlow scientific rainbow by Fabio Crameri.
However, alkenones and GDGTs in the Gulf of Lion were analyzed using two independent sets of lipid extracts and by two independent research teams. Here, we analyze alkenones and GDGTs off the Iberian Margin using a single set of lipid extracts.

Cool! But why, for the love of god, in the year 2023, is it in RAINBOW 🌈😔 #endrainbow

Scientists of #Twitter: don't use rainbow or red-green color schemes! They distort how people perceive your data by highlighting features or abrupt divisions that don't exist, and can be impossible to interpret in B&W or for people with colorblindness! #endrainbow #dataviz

Oh no, rainbow colour scale just fired back. Campaign for #endrainbow now needs to respond #end2Drainbow.

The beginning of the end for Weertman flow? Must tell my colleagues about #endrainbow though
