Creating visually compelling network maps with PARTNER CPRM™ just got a lot easier! With our new Color Palette Selector, you can quickly customize the look of your network maps with 16 pre-set color palettes and gradients—all with a single click. Apply these color sets to your network’s nodes and edges (lines) to create beautiful visualizations that align with your organization or network’s brand and style.
Here’s what you need to know about this exciting new PARTNER CPRM™ feature!
What This Feature Does
Instead of manually selecting hex codes one-by-one for each node and edge in your network map, you can now:
🎨 Choose from 16 professionally designed color palettes
🌈 Apply one of 6 gradient color palettes to auto-generate shades of the same color for all your nodes and edges
📌 Easily match your network visualization to branding or accessibility needs
Leveraging Network Color Palettes
Color is key for making network insights clear and actionable. This feature helps you:
✅ Enhance readability – Improve contrast and differentiation between nodes & edges.
✅ Match your brand/style – Apply colors that align with your organization’s look.
✅ Improve accessibility – Ensure maps are colorblind-friendly with high-contrast options.
💡Pro Tip: Don’t settle on the first palette you choose that looks passable. Remember, some palettes are ideal for specific use cases. For example, the Dark2 palette is great for maps that will have a white or light-colored background, while the Pastel1 color palette is perfect for dark or black backgrounds.
Here are six more examples of the same network map using different preset color palettes in the analyzer.
