>Any reason you chose green as the middle and red as the high end of positive.

Short answer: Basically I needed a lot of range.

Longer answer: I needed something bright for the low end and something with a wide range visually for the middle parts. Kansas was in a league of it's own in many ways. So basically anything with a green tint at all that wasn't completely yellow had a positive gain. For example, Washington State was -16%, Idaho was -24%, and Montana was +13%.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Are we looking at different graphics? The one I'm looking at ranges from -0.4 (percent, presumably?) to +21, with the later applying only to Kansas, and most of everything being a pretty uniform tan.

Yeah I could have made the graphic more clear. That -.39 is -39%, therefore the 21 is +2100%

You gotta learn some color theory. You basically made.a scale from 2-3 with 1 in the middle.
