Color Choropleth Map

When printing this map, there were a few noticeable differences of colors. The main differences were in the shades of green and in the gray colored background. The printed shades of green came out to be a bit more vibrant than the web version, but ultimately more visually pleasing due to the slightly brighter presence. But for the gray background, there was printer error, making some pink shades around the main graphic. If I were to make modifications to the versions, I would just check that there is enough black/gray ink to make sure that there is no pink shade on the gray background for the printed version.

A Choropleth Map I like


I always love seeing choropleth maps of political races. It's great to see which state is on what side.
