UX: Choose viewable palette (colorbrewer2?)

[kidwellj]

We need to work out a good palette for dots, symbols, and fonts that is colour-blind friendly and easily viewed against the map (so not light pink, cyan or yellow). Can we use color brewer for this, maybe? http://colorbrewer2.org/#type=diverging&scheme=BrBG&n=7 might work for our current setup. They export to JS straight from the website.

Yes good idea I was thinking the same.

Here's a pallete we can use

#a6cee3
#1f78b4
#b2df8a
#33a02c
#fb9a99
#e31a1c
#fdbf6f
#ff7f00
#cab2d6
#6a3d9a
#ffff99

Best, I think to set variables for each colour so we only need to assign once (in case we need to change later, and so we can set across different elements etc.)

Here's an indication of the (four or more) elements that we can connect by using uniform colouring:

This will have a huge (and useful) impact on UX. Could also be used for KNN buttons/text colour

Yea good idea with variable setting this will be the next job.

Add variables with colours to the index.html but still need to figure out the side bar functionality colours. It looks better with the new colours.
