Observation: legends (e.g. that show how colours are assigned to time series) are “cognate” with the rendering of related data (e.g. correspondingly coloured lines plots), via the data (i.e. visualisation settings) that assign colours to specific data elements. We can exploit this to provide visual feedback if the user mouses over a legend entry. (This could be useful e.g. for colour blind readers or whenever similar colours are mapping to distinct data elements.)
This crops up everywhere but here are some examples.
