Reply to comment by cjrmartin in [OC] %age of area covered by forests in Indian states by BlitzOrion
using this color gradient the sahara would be the same color as most of this map

Good job the Sahara isn't an Indian state then...
I doubt you would use the same 20% buckets if you were doing a more global map, doesn't make the colour choice as inherently bad as people are suggesting in the comments.
There is a difference between constructive criticism / feedback and saying "this is the worst possible thing you could do"

my point was that calling a map which displays areas similar in forestation to the sahara as green is a bit misleading

You and I have different definitions of misleading, I guess. No worries.
