Hehehe, the next graph i will try to apply something like a "dark solarized palette" 😁 i'm in love of this palette.

After further consideration I think it's the background that makes picking a good color for your data bars/lines. The y-axis data labels are in the black part, and the data is in the red part. So you need 2 colors that contrast on both black and red...now that's a challenge. Maybe if you pull back the vignette so there is more red, you can choose collors that contrast well to red. Making the red a bit less bright would also make it easier for your data colors to pop. You can use an online tools to help you pick colors (color contrast checker, lookup color themes for websites etc.).

I completely agree. The color gradient so contrasted (red-black) is the problem and the challenge. Yeah.

I take note. In the future: the gradients must be quite less contrast. In only was thinking in "dark and blood", hahaha, and for this reason i used this "nice" gradient. But you're right that it put it quite more difficult to choose the plot colors!

Thanks! 😊
