Sequential datasets are best represented from with simoultanious shifts in hue, saturation, and lightness. Best used to depict data that varies continuously from high to low.
Divergent datasets are best represented as a smooth continuous linear palettte that use variations of hue, lightness, and saturation. It is best to use two different, contrasting, hues with a neutral central color (white) producing a centralized white. This allows our eyes to quickly diffrentiate data.
Qualitative data sets are best to be seperated into groups of different distinguishable colors (idealy less than 12). With increased data, more groups need to be made with additional lables and symbols when needed.
