Statistik Stadt Zürich scales
An example plot with the qual-mixed-12 scheme
A set of scales commissioned by Statistik Stadt Zürich, implemented by Zürich-based design and technology studio Interactive Things according to the following briefing:
The general goal of the project at hand was to create a comprehensive and consistent library of basic charts. From simple line and bar charts to choropleth maps and coordinated visualizations. The charts will eventually live on the web and will be embedded into an existing website. As a public institution, our client has special requirements related to readability and accessibility of all of their content including the interactive visualizations. Therefore, our work on the color scales had to take into consideration the established visual design of the website and the extensive requirements of the target audience. The results had to be precise, distinct, memorable and applicable on a broad variety of different chart types.
