Great package, thanks for sharing!

d3.js has ColorBrewer baked in available either as Javascript or CSS. Here's a handy static visualization of the scales: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/5577023

Any time you pick colors for a visualization, these scales should be your default choice. You can choose something else but you better have a good reason.

As a colorblind person: THANK YOU.

I swear this was just posted here. Is there really that much turnover going on?

There's a new 'Past' link which will search for the previous submissions:

https://hn.algolia.com/?query=ColorBrewer%3A%20Color%20Advic...

So yes, there was a submission a couple of hours ago. And one 6 years ago... Not that much turnover in my opinion.

Not 6 years ago. 72 days ago.
