Reply to comment by RotisserieChicken007 in [OC] %age of area covered by forests in Indian states by BlitzOrion

Ever heard of grass? Nothing wrong with using light green as the base colour that gets darker with higher percentage of forests.

Too many people criticising a perfectly legitimate choice of gradient and shouting hyperboles. Let's be honest, the use of colour is not "ridiculous" even if it's not the most optimal design.

Okay, I'll change the word ridiculous to totally misleading, and possibly even fake news.

You're still wrong, it's neither ridiculous nor totally misleading even if it is sub-optimal in the shades of green used. The data is showing forests not general vegetation cover, I think it's perfectly acceptable to have a light green tone for the 0-20% bucket.

Also, happy cake day.

You're the kind of guy who'd put light, medium and dark green on a traffic light.
