PS8- Clarification on Choosing RColorBrewer Palettes for Mixed Datasets #111

Hi everyone,

While working on this week's Problem Set, I had a question related to customizing scatterplots using ggplot2:

Does anyone have tips on choosing the best RColorBrewer palette for a mixed dataset with both continuous and categorical variables? I want to ensure that the colors used are visually distinct and intuitive for both types of data, making the plots more effective for presentations or reports.

I would appreciate any insights or suggestions you all have!

well I believe it would depend on the specific analysis you are performing. although your dataset might have both continuous and categorial, you decide on the palette based on the specific analysis you are performing- if the variable for that is continuous or categorical, etc.
