Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have a simple 2-color map showing
which candidates won in which precinct. Now I want to make one
showing margin of victory within a precinct. So if candidate A
won by a lot it would be dark green, if candidate A won by a
little it would be light green, if candidate B won by a lot it
would be dark yellow and if candidate B won by a little it would
be light yellow. (These are local elections so red and blue
don't make sense). I used color brewer to pick my initial two
color scheme. I have zero design sense. How do I go about
picking the colors for the margin of victory map?  share|improve
this question You would probably have to standardize your data
first so you can define "a lot" or "a little" by a
number/ratio/percent. Then you could define your margin of
victory upper/lower class breaks and then color your classes
accordingly. –  user21646 Mar 19 '14 at 1:55 @JasparKatt can you
say about the appropriate way to standardize this kind of data.
How do I decide what the bins should be
