| Abstract: | In this thesis, MapColPal, a web-based color palette generation and testing tool for thematic maps, was designed, built, and evaluated. It provides a new take on the old problem of selecting colors for maps in a way suiting the data, human perception, and aesthetic preferences. MapColPal tackles this problem by deriving color palettes in a structured way from a shared set of seed colors, visualizing each update immediately, as well as offering user interaction and palette testing at all steps along the process. It builds on previous tools like ColorBrewer and combines their ideas with insight from recent literature and modern technology. |
