Color palette

• Use the DOEE standards as the starting point for the elements on the map
• Use their palette as a starting point but choose those that make sense. Keep in mind the vibrancy of the dots - more vibrant and differentiation of the dots. Use their palette as a starting point but choose those that make sense. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OPZ0PTFbnZQ0XP_gmKFOQZDzV8zQc8zOZG7u1EGL74E
• They want the DOEE green to be heavily used, perhaps as the main interface color Chicago http://cityenergyproject.github.io/chicago/#chicago/2015?layer=energy_star_score&metrics[]=energy_star_score&sort=energy_star_score&order=desc&lat=41.8843&lng=-87.6325&zoom=11

The green is pretty, green. I'm worried it will look pretty heavy on the page.

I'd like rather to try #e3b025, #3394a3, or their lighter green #7fc342.

[emilyhobson]

those ramps are "color_range": ["#3494a3 ","#306e9a ","#76498d "]

"color_range": ["#f16623 ","#7fc342 ","#2a8b44 "]

So we have two new ramps, which layers does each ramp apply to? Is one only for the Energy Star Score and the other the default for every other layer ( this is how it is in Chicago ).

@ranchodeluxe the red to green scale is used for all the energy scores. sometimes the the gradient is flipped from red-green to green-red (green=good, red=bad). like:

The blue to purple scale is used for all others like square feet and year built (things that aren't necessarily good or bad):

I've been basing it off the LA project.
