Translating Color Harmony into Data Color Schemes

The presentation focuses on how to blend the concepts of Color Harmony with sequential, diverging and categorical Color Schemes for data visualization. By translating the fundamentals of Color Harmony into Color Data Schemes, one gains the ability to improve the control of and amplify efforts to colorize a data visualization. I call this improving your “harmonic resolution”. It is also my hope to provide a guide to bridge between image creators or product designers that apply Color Harmony and data visualization practitioners who need to colorize their data. There are many situations in which these two communities collaborate. These include the design of interactive exhibits, mobile apps or games, large format posters, corporate reports and other displays of information for individual users and the general public. Examples from my online writings on colorizing data visualizations will be featured to demonstrate how to move between these two distinct Color Theory concepts. These examples were published in either Nightingale - the journal of data visualization society or UX Collective - an independent user experience (UX), visual, and product design publication under Medium.

Bio

Theresa-Marie Rhyne has over three decades of experience producing and colorizing digital media and visualization. She has consulted with the Stanford University Visualization Group on a Color Suggestion Prototype System, the Center for Visualization at the University of California at Davis and the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah on applying color theory to Ensemble Data Visualization. Prior to her consulting work, she founded two visualization centers: (a) the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Scientific Visualization Center in the 1990s and (b) the Center for Visualization and Analytics at North Carolina State University in the 2000s. Her book on “Applying Color Theory to Digital Media and Visualization” was published by CRC Press in 2016.



The Inter-Society Color Council advances the knowledge of color as it relates to art, science, industry and design.
Each of these fields enriches the others, furthering the general objective of color education.
