Figure 5.8 The map on the left does not show enough contrast between the features for
the map viewer to understand the map. The map on the right differentiates water from land
with both color and a highlighting mechanism (white color) along the water–land interface. A
dark blue is typically used as the highlighting color but in this example white works well due
to the dark hue of the land and water. Some other great figure‑ground color combinations are
gray and blue, light blue and dark blue, and light green and dark green.
