数据的准确表达在科学传播中至关重要。然而,通过不均匀的颜色梯度在视觉上扭曲数据或对色觉缺陷者不可读的彩色地图在科学中仍然普遍存在。这些包括但不限于彩虹状和红绿彩色地图。在这里,我们提出了一个科学使用颜色的简单指南。我们展示了科学推导的彩色地图如何报告真实的数据变化,降低复杂性,并可供色觉缺陷的人使用。我们强调科学界识别和防止科学中颜色滥用的方法,并呼吁社区,出版商和新闻界积极远离颜色滥用。数据的准确表达在科学传播中至关重要,然而,通过不均匀的颜色梯度在视觉上扭曲数据或对色觉缺陷者无法阅读的彩色地图仍然很普遍。在这里,作者提出了一个科学使用颜色的简单指南,并强调了科学界识别和防止科学中滥用颜色的方法。
The accurate representation of data is essential in science communication. However, colour maps that visually distort data through uneven colour gradients or are unreadable to those with colour-vision deficiency remain prevalent in science. These include, but are not limited to, rainbow-like and red–green colour maps. Here, we present a simple guide for the scientific use of colour. We show how scientifically derived colour maps report true data variations, reduce complexity, and are accessible for people with colour-vision deficiencies. We highlight ways for the scientific community to identify and prevent the misuse of colour in science, and call for a proactive step away from colour misuse among the community, publishers, and the press.
