How to dominate your use of colour!

I created a presentation about the use of colour in data visualisation for the virtual Analytics Tableau User Group.

Below you’ll find all slides, including links to further resources and a recording of the talk, once it is available. The slides on their own are probably not super useful but in compination with the recording or if you attended the session live, it might be helpful to remember what I was talking about.

Most of these links go to Lisa Charlotte Muth’s blog posts on the datawrapper website. Over the years she created an extensive collection of guides, explanations and summaries that are easy to read and very practical.
