Perceptual Uniformity with #HCL_Wizard

In this writing, I discuss how to build a #color Scheme for your data visualization with the freely accessible web app called HCL Wizard. HCL..
The hclwizard provides tools for manipulating and assessing colors and palettes based on the underlying colorspace software (available in R and Python). It leverages the HCL color space: a color model that is based on human color perception and thus makes it easy to choose good color palettes by varying three color properties: Hue (= type of color, dominant wavelength) - Chroma (= colorfulness) - Luminance (= brightness). As shown in the color swatches below each property can be varied while keeping the other two properties fixed.

When you see a (scientific) data visualization with a rainbow, ask yourself: Would Bob Ross approve of this?
Most likely not. In contrast, choosing a HCL-based palette instead will yield less flashy colors that change smoothly...very much in the spirit of The Joy of Painting.
