Science color scheme
Let's see how Daniel matches it
Two-color matching: This is relatively simple, basically you can choose two different ones.
▼The most classic match is red and black
Note: 255, 59, 59 are the RGB values of the color. The following is the same as
red and black, which is a versatile and error-free collocation method. Science is also often used. Generally red is used for key data lines, and black is used for reference lines.

If you are tired of red and black, you can try the red and blue color scheme above. Decrease the saturation of the color slightly to make it look less rigid.
Three-color matching: the most used color scheme.

above scheme is the most common, simple and straightforward. It is often used for parallel experiment data, without highlighting a certain data, such as repeated experiments, parallel experiments, etc.
▼One warm and two cold, can highlight the key points

Contrast is the most important role of data display. Needless to say, it is more efficient to distinguish by color. Science likes to use the cool and warm colors above. The red and dark blue are very harmonious.
Four-color matching: It is also the most commonly used scene, but there are not many people who match well.

Is it familiar to see this picture? Yes, Xiaotong used to do the same. The comparison is there, but is it a bit confusing?
▼This is the correct way to open the four-color collocation

Aesthetic Online, Science uses the most color scheme. Is it better? If you don’t feel it, please face the picture for 5 minutes.
Five colors and above: difficult to match, please reduce the saturation as much as possible

▼Six colors

It is really difficult to match with more than five colors. To be honest, the color is not enough, and the overall look will be messy, regardless of priority, the picture above is the best example. The selected colors are very clear, but they are very unsightly when put together.
Multi-color color Tips, multi-use gray, appropriate white space
Universal gray: 254 kinds of gray can't be used up, it's the best to set off the theme. It is also the first to be used as a background color and reference color.
▼Gray sets off the main color

Seeing this picture, it should be a real realization . Suddenly, people pay attention to the red theme color. The reference data uses different grays, is it more layered, and the operation is quite simple.

▼Classic multi-color matching 2

looking at the above two positive examples, I wonder if you have found that they all use gray as the main color or background color. Although there are many types of colors, the area is small.
This kind of blank processing is very worthy of our reference. It is not only well-defined, but also simple and generous.
