Color theory includes several sets of ideas about how colors can or should relate to each other. Today, the use of color in maps is commonplace, a result of the increasing ease and economy with which map production technologies can create it. Fundamentally, the effective use of color in maps relies on a solid understanding of the human visual system and its particularities. Color is often described as being composed of three dimensions: hue, lightness, and saturation. Color schemes that are commonly used when making maps rely on matching these color dimensions to data characteristics. Colors on maps can be specified using different color models, depending on whether the map is produced digitally or printed on paper.
