ColorBrewer is a web tool for choosing color schemes for choropleth maps, based on cartographer Cynthia Brewer's research. It provides colorblind-safe, print-friendly palettes exportable as ASE, GIMP, JavaScript, and CSS formats.

Use cases

  • pick a color scheme for a choropleth map
  • find colorblind-safe color palettes for data visualization
  • export map color schemes as CSS or JavaScript arrays
  • choose sequential diverging or qualitative palettes for maps
  • get print-friendly colors for cartography

When to choose

  • you need research-backed color schemes for maps or data classes
  • you need colorblind-safe or print-friendly palettes
  • you want ready-to-use palette exports in multiple formats

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose color picker or design tool
  • you need programmatic palette generation beyond the fixed ColorBrewer schemes
  • you need a native desktop color tool
