Color Blending (or My Eyes Are Playing Tricks on Me)
As I mentioned in the Legend section of Chapter 3, “Layout Design,” colors can be perceived
differently depending on how they are combined with other colors. Therefore,
I advise looking at many colors, in combination with those you have already chosen,
before deciding on one for a particular part of the map or a particular feature. It can be
very helpful to use a software tool to do this or you can create a series of color combination
boxes yourself from which to base your feature choices on.2 You could use something
like the color boxes I put together in Figure 5.13, or you could simply
change the
colors
within your GIS many times while looking at the end result. References boxes
— these might be part of a style guide you put together — are often an easier way to go.
The color boxes in Figure 5.13 show some color combinations that work well together.
Perhaps you could create your own color combination boxes like these even when you
don’t have a particular project in the works and keep them around for when you need
