colormaps-styling

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of selecting perceptually uniform colormaps and applying consistent visual theming across HoloViz visualizations, ensuring accessibility and brand-aligned aesthetics.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Perceptually uniform colormaps: choose maps that preserve data integrity and are colorblind-friendly.
• Theming and styling: apply consistent themes across Panel, Holoviews, and hvPlot-based dashboards.
• Accessibility guidance: guidelines for color contrast, grayscale printability, and colorblind considerations.
• Use Case: standardize palette choices for a multi-chart dashboard to maintain readability and branding.

Quick Start

Install colorcet and ensure dependencies are available. Then select and apply appropriate colormaps in your hvPlot/HoloViews plots. Example: set cmap=cm['cet_goertzel'] and enable colorbar in your visualizations.
