Applying Albers Concepts to Creating Scientific Data Visualizations
We describe how we have used the Albers “Interaction of Color” App to build color schemes for scientific data visualizations. Our two examples focus on data generated from computational model runs of simulated hurricanes. Our first example uses the “Optical Mixture” concept to build a color illusion where two colors are perceived simultaneous to create a third color. In our second time series animation, we use Albers’ “Quantity” concepts to build a color map that supported the changes in the appearance of color as the animation progressed over time. We also highlight how Albers’ Interaction of Color concepts are combined with other color basics to create the final time series animations.

Bio
Theresa-Marie Rhyne’s experiences include consulting with the Stanford University Visualization Group on a Color Suggestion Prototype System, the Center for Visualization at the University of California at Davis and the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah on applying color theory to Ensemble Data Visualization. Prior to her consulting work, she founded two visualization centers: (a) the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Scientific Visualization Center in the 1990s and (b) the Center for Visualization and Analytics at North Carolina State University in the 2000s. Her book on “Applying Color Thoery to Digital Media and Visualzation” was published by CRC Press in November 2016. She has lectured world wide and taught courses a the premiere conferences in computer graphics, SIGGRAPH, and visualization, IEEE VIS. She is a member of the Inter-Society Color Council. At Munsell 2018, she presented poster on “Applying Munsell Color Harmony to Visual Analytics”. Twitter: @tmrhyne; Blog
