QGIS users: ATTENTION!
We now have a convenient #QGIS plugin to integrate the latest version of the Scientific colour maps directly into the style manager: plugins.qgis.org/plugins/scie...
Shout-out and big thanks to Silvain Théry. ⭐️
Happy mapping, everyone! #UseBatlow 🐡
The latest version of the Scientific colour maps is now available for ArcGIS Pro, thanks to Craig Williams. 🫶

😬 I give seminars and workshops on the importance of science-proof colour scales, if you ever want to turn graphics like these into scientifically accurate and readable visuals (also to colour-blind people).

Nice colormap I didn’t get to use thus far 🍭 #UseBatlow
Lovely paper out by Benjamin Hatchett about colour consistency in pyrocartography 🔥🗺️:

Batlow is not just good for plotting your ocean and Earth system data, it's also good for making felons more recognisable. #UseBatlow 🌊
A plot using the TURBO colour map (thanks Google); it is perceptually-neutral but not colourblind-friendly
A plot using the SPECTRAL colour map (thanks ColorBrewer); it is perceptually-neutral but not colourblind-friendly
A plot using the BATLOW colour map (thanks Fabio Crameri); it is perceptually-neutral and colourblind-friendly
OK, so maybe Batlow could work for me ... #UseBatlow
The Barbie-style Scientific colour map ‚acton‘ from www.fabiocrameri.ch/colourmaps
And here‘s the perceptually uniform, colour-blind friendly colour gradient ‚acton‘ to go along with it!

Figure 1 in Davtian et al. (2021) Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology (https://doi.org/10.1029/2020PA004077) Location and modern hydrology of the Iberian Margin. (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.

Unintuitive data visualisation with random changes between neighbouring data values introducing artificial gradients to the data visualisation.
Intuitive and scientific data visualisation with equal changes between neighbouring data values representing the data set accurately (and accessibly) as a whole to the non-expert audience.
Scales (such as a colour bar) that are meant to represent one dimension of a data set can’t be used to highlight data ranges.
Instead, use superposed contour lines instead if you must know the individual values clearly on a map.
Here’s a crude example of how this map could be shown.

Nothing says ‚higher education‘ like ignoring the very science you’re supposed to educate about… 🙈🙉

You know what that means, yeah?

Scientific colour maps: yes! – But when and what not to do with them?
