Cividis: The cividis colour map 38 (available at ref. 63), developed by Jamie R. Nuñez and colleagues, aims to represent an almost identical appearance for red–green colour-vision deficiencies, the closest of all currently available colour maps, while also being perceptually uniform. The colour-vision deficiency friendly, sequential and continuous colour map is currently available as a standard colour array. Crameri, F. Scientific colour maps: perceptually uniform and colour-vision deficiency friendly. Zenodo, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1243862 (2018). The colour map should not contain red and green at a similar luminosity (Box 1 for definitions). If this is the case, it can be assumed that these two colours cannot be distinguished by a large fraction of the readership and, therefore, fails as a scientific way of displaying data. A shape in the elements of design is the result of enclosed lines to form a boundary. Shapes are two-dimensional and can be described as geometric, organic, and abstract.Cairo, A. The Functional Art: An Introduction to Information Graphics and Visualization. (New Riders, 2012). Transferring the knowledge and awareness about the importance of scientifically derived colour maps to new generations of scientists is, therefore, a key goal. Teaching is a frontline tool in building solid visualisation skills. Indeed, learning and applying scientific data visualisation should be a requirement to receive BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees. Here, we provide an instructive user guide for choosing and applying a suitable scientific colour map (Fig. 6), which should be part of every research office, and possibly even desk space. We provide a poster (Supplementary Data 1) that can be placed in communal areas, like near a printing station, coffee machine or restroom, that highlights the key advantages of scientifically derived colour maps and serves as a conversation starter. Saturation controls how saturated the color should be. 0% is completely unsaturated, while 100% is fully saturated. ( Large preview) Lightness

Colors create moods and can say something different depending on the connotations of your chosen color scheme. Color can create an emphasis on specific areas of your design layout. Texture adds a tactile appearance to a design layout. Imagine how a design piece would feel if you touched it. The goal of texture is to add depth to a 2D surface.

HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness. It’s based on the RGB color wheel. Each color has an angle and a percentage value for the saturation and lightness values.

McNeall, D. How many Rainbows at EGU 2018, < https://betterfigures.org/2018/04/16/how-many-rainbows-at-egu-2018> (2020). Two thirds of all cone cells process longer wavelengths of light (i.e., colours like red, orange, yellow), which allows the human eye to perceive more colour detail across warmer colours than for cooler colours 54. Greenish colour gradients tend to under-represent a given data variation compared to yellow-red gradients. Three types of cone cells (for short, medium and, long wavelengths) build the trichromatic visual system that can, as a whole, represent all colours in our visual spectrum 55, 56, 57, 58.Light, A. & Bartlein, P. J. The end of the rainbow? Color schemes for improved data graphics. Eos Trans. AGU 85, 385–391 (2004). Designing Lightness is an accessible introduction to lightweight design, written playfully with richly illustrated surprising examples By altering the lightness, we can create a set of shades for a color that can be used throughout the UI where possible.
