🔸Decide on which theme ( light or dark) you want to use with the companies colours in mind - for instance you may want to add yellow, if you are working with MTN data or blue if you are working with Stanbic Bank data etc.
🔸Decide on the background color-If you want to use a light background, then you need to use a dark text and chart or vise versa so your audience can have a clear view of your dashboard
🔸Limit color variations - Using too many colors to represent your data will make it difficult to read and generate insights quickly. Use a maximum of 4 colors and consider same color for same variables
🔸Consider the color grey as the most important color in data visualization. Why?
▪️It is used for less important annotations.
▪️It also used to calm down the overall impression of the visual

🔸Choose the appropriate type of color pallette -Depending on the type of data and report you want to present,there are ff categories
▪️diverging -show below or above a mid point
▪️sequential - show ordering
▪️qualitative - distinguish between unordered categories

In my case I used a light background (white), used qualitative color scale but because I don't want to have so many colors in my dashboard, I made use of the grey for less important categories with the first category being highlighted.
Hope this helps you on the next dashboard you are going to build 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
