Lab 6: Color Choropleth Map

The main noticeable difference in the print vs. digital version of my map is the print version has more of a blue tint, while the digital version is more gray and purple. The darkest color appears to be very purple on the digital version but very royal blue on the print version. I actually prefer the overall look of the print map better. The color scheme I chose is purple, which I think is pretty neutral. I didn't want the map to be red because I think red looks too aggressive (even though suicide or death = bad). The color scheme makes it easy to differentiate between classes, which is good. If I were to make this map again, I might try a different color scheme (like orange/burnt orange) because I think it sends a more accurate message, but the purple is so nice to look at!

Map Utilizing Color

I chose this map for color because it is simple and easy to determine what is what based on the colors used-- good contrast and choice of color.
