Age-related maps

Hi there. I like the idea of creating a unified scheme as proposed on your new subpage. You mentioned the current restriction of ages 16-21 which is due to the first use of this colour scheme in the tobacco smoking maps where such age classes were already present. A much greater problem is that new colours cannot easily be added from the tool I used: https://colorbrewer2.org. Depending on the type of data, you only get 4 classes of qualitative data, 11 diverging classes and 9 sequential classes in a mode that is safe for colourblind people. I think I ended up combining colours from different "types" to get a wider range though. De728631 (talk) 20:58, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

In order to aide colourblind people, how should we make a new scheme for all ages? In age of consent map, the lowest is 12. De728631. I could try to use that site to get a range of 10 colors (12-21). What do you think? I don't even know where I should propose/post these updates lol. cookie monster 755 02:09, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

We could diverging option, which gives us 10 colorblind safe colors, which gives us #a50026, #d73027, #f46d43, #fdae61, #fee090, #e0f3f8, #abd9e9, #74add1, #4575b4, #313695. What do you think? cookie monster 755 02:12, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, there are no colorblind-friendly options on qualitative colors. cookie monster 755 02:13, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
