Copy the color codes to Excel and use the HEX2DEC() function to get the RGB values. I like Genopal because it is clean (no ads) and extracts exactly the number of colors we need (eight). There are many, so choose whichever you like.
Upload it to an online palette generator. Search for “ autumn colors” and you’ll get some useful results. If that looks like a lot of work, you can try Flickr. Go there, take some photos and download them to your computer. Google for “+park” and you may get lucky. If you happen to live in a big city, finding nature can be challenging. I’m going to show you how to create a palette of colors found in nature ( you can create a palette of colors not found in nature, if that suits you better). A palette of nature’s colors helps suppress production of garish and content-empty chartjunk.īetter said than done, right? Well, let me tell you a secret: it’s easier than it seems. Nature’s colors are familiar and coherent, possessing a widely accepted harmony to the human eye (…). 
What palette of colors should we choose to represent and illuminate information? A grand strategy is to use colors found in nature (…). Maybe we could ask Edward Tufte for advice. Hell, you can’t even choose the right tie for a suit! So, what do you do? (hint: watch the video below) You need a better color palette for your Excel charts, but you are a mere mortal and your artistic skills are less than stellar.
