README.md

vygrboi

vygrboi is a custom color palette for data science visualization. I developed this scheme in an effort to create more aesthetic and vivid figures than facilitated by matplotlib defaults. Inspiration for the inital scheme came from discussions with my fiancee and a read through the xkcd color survey. A critical element to this color palette is testing for color-blind accessibility. I ran the palette through coolers.co and did some serious tweaking to make the palette not only color-blind accessible but also black-white printer friendly. I generated the visual below using coolers and have included some examples where I have used vygrboi in my own work.

Naming vygrboi

I am an avid Star Trek fan and grew up on the original series and movies. The name vygrboi is inspired in part by the V'ger entity (vividly colorful itself) from the first Star Trek movie and played a role in dictating the order of my matplotlib color cycler.

Included in this Repository

In addition to listing my hex codes, I have also provided a customized matplotlibrc file named matplotlibrc.vygrboi. This file includes the vygrboi color cycler and improvements to visualization such as larger tick and axis labels, interior tick marks made longer, and cleaner subplot margins.
