Tell a Compelling and On Brand Story With New Colour Palletes

Let your brand personality and data shine through with Spotlight Reporting’s new Colour Palettes. Read on find out more.

Choosing any colour scheme – whether it’s for your website, report-cover... or painting your new kitchen – is a challenge. Today, we’re delighted to launch Colour Palettes in Spotlight Reporting that will make it easy to choose an on-brand, consistent colour scheme for your reports.

The psychology of colour in data visualisation

When it comes to visualising data, colour is very important. It makes patterns clearer, digestible, and more visible; it can improve data storytelling, and it can even help make use of data that was previously ignored. Use colour effectively, and you’ll tell a better story, one that engages your clients, captures their attention quickly and helps them better understand the underlying data.

“Using the principles of colour theory, our team created nine new colour palettes to shape data, increase its readability, and provide an even better experience for your clients. This wasn’t an easy process, but practice makes a perfect palette.”
Josh Farmer, Design Lead, Spotlight Reporting
