Lab 6 - Color Choropleth



           Comparing the printed version versus the digital version shows very abrupt differences mostly with the background.  The digital version correctly shows the background color I chose to allow the map to "pop".  However, the printed version looks almost pink, like a medium rare salmon pink.  The other main difference is with states like Alaska, Nevada, and Tennessee.   The color on the digital copy looks lighter than the printed version.  Between the two I actually prefer the printed version for this very reason.  When designing it, it originally looked as bright as the printed copy, but, most likely due to the compression for the web, the color lost some value.
