Pick a type pairing and a data palette

Each option is shown side by side with identical content. Then play the six-chart story below with any combination, as an article or as a deck. All data on this page is synthetic.

0 · The room

Before, and with Norwegian restraint

Before is the EDS baseline you have seen so far: cool white by day, near-black by night, no motif. The Nordic options change only the room around the data: surfaces that are warm or cool white by day, mørketid by night (deep blue-grey, never black, so the one warm highlight glows like a lamp in a window), and the horizon motif. Data colours, type and rules are identical in all six panels. Use Room in the top bar to apply one to the whole page.

The horizon motif here is an illustrative profile. In stories it is drawn from real bathymetry or an interpreted seismic horizon, and sits outside plot areas.

1 · Type pairings

Same words, three voices

2 · Data palettes

Same charts, three palettes

Each preset bundles a quiet story colour set (always labelled directly), one highlight, an identity palette for categories, and sequential and diverging ramps. All three pass the contrast and colour-vision checks in light and dark. Grey context is shared.

3 · The story test

Six charts, one narrative

Pick a combination, then scroll, or press Present and use the arrow keys.
