3 Colour combinations Density scales Used for quantitative data. Mixed scales Used for qualitative uniform groups. Mix only two colour scales for the best result. Use dark tones for strokes and lighter tones for fill colour. NB: Adjust the tones, so the dark colours are used on small areas, and lighter colours in large areas. Recommended mixed scales Unique values/qualitative Five different colours with equal density for use in maps with equal data or value. Not for black/white copy. Secondary mixed scales Used when special colour codes are required to distinguish between elements without assigning weithting and values. MAP COLOUR GUIDE 3
