In this episode, I speak with Cara Thompson about color, delving into several aspects of its use in data visualization. Cara is a UK-based data visualization consultant with over 15 years of experience in transforming data insights into clear, compelling visual stories. We explore how she finds inspiration for selecting colors, her reasons for not simply using organizations' brand colors in her visualizations, and the importance of dedicating time to thoughtfully consider color choices in this context.Important resources mentioned:monochromeR Shiny App: https://cararthompson.shinyapps.io/monochromeR/Ophelia package documentation: https://cararthompson.github.io/ophelia/Talk on five tips for creating and apply bespoke color palettes: https://www.cararthompson.com/talks/nhsr2022-palatable-palettes/In-depth talk about dataviz design systems: https://www.cararthompson.com/talks/nhsr2023-dataviz-design-system/Connect with Cara Thompson:Website: https://www.cararthompson.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cararthompson/X: @cararthompsonGithub: cararthompsonSubscribe to our newsletter: https://rfortherestofus.com/newsletter
