Tools Color Oracle<\/a>\u00a0is a free color blindness simulator for Window, Mac and Linux. It shows in real time what people with common color vision impairments will see. Color Oracle applies a full screen color filter, independent of the software in use.<\/p>\n ColorPic<\/a>\u00a0is a color picker with a magnifier attached. It grabs palettes of up to 16 colors at once and uses four advanced color mixers to select a spectrum of possibilities.<\/p>\n eyePilot<\/a>\u00a0is an application you can purchase that’s designed as a floating window, which you can easily drag over a web page, document, or computer application, that allows you to quickly and more accurately view color-coded information.<\/p>\n Kuler<\/a>\u00a0is a free web-hosted application to explore, create, and share color themes.<\/p>\n ScaleMaster<\/a>\u00a0is a structured diagram for organizing multiscale mapping using multiple databases and design, selection, and generalization decisions. In its rudimentary form, ScaleMaster is a do-it-yourself Excel file available for download.<\/p>\n TypeBrewer<\/a>\u00a0is a free help tool that gives nonspecialist mapmakers a chance to explore typography in a semistructured environment. Instead of providing the functionality of a graphic design program or GIS, TypeBrewer offers a quick and easy way to explore typographic alternatives and see the impact that various elements of type have on the overall look and feel of a map.<\/p>\n Vischeck<\/a>\u00a0is an application that shows you what things look like to someone who is color-blind. It works online on your own image files or runs on a web page. You can also download programs to let you run it on your own computer.<\/p>\n Visolve<\/a>\u00a0is a software application (free for personal use) that transforms the colors of the computer display into discriminable colors for various people including people with color vision deficiency, commonly called color blindness.<\/p>\n Course materials<\/strong><\/p>\n Geographer’s Craft Map collections<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n David Rumsey Map Collection Map projections<\/strong><\/p>\n Carlos A.

\nColorBrewer2<\/a>\u00a0is a web tool for selecting color schemes for thematic maps, usually for choropleth maps. ColorBrewer includes 35 basic schemes with different numbers of classes for over 250 possible versions. Each scheme has CMYK, RGB, Hex, Lab, and AV3 (HSV) specs for the colors. The software is designed simply to list color specs for a scheme you find useful so you are able to create these colors in the mapping software you are using.<\/p>\n
