Applying Color Theory to Visualization

Video of slides from Theresa-Marie Rhyne's tutorial on "Applying Color Theory to Visualization", given on Sunday, October 24, 2010, at IEEE Visualization 2010, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We highlight the visual impact of specific color combinations and provide practical suggestions on digital color mixing for visualization. The successful application of color theory is a key component in the design of digital media for interactive visual discovery, time series animation, and other visual analytics efforts. Various artists' and scientists' theories of color and how to apply these theories to creating your own digital media work will be reviewed.

We include a hands on session that teaches you how to build and evaluate color schemes with Adobe's Kuler, Color Scheme Designer, and Color Brewer tools, each of which are available online.
