Description

This code serves as a supplement to the paper titled Accessible Color Sequences for Data Visualization. It contains code for creating random color sets with a minimum perceptual distance enforced, for running a color-cycle aesthetic-preference survey, for creating a machine-learning aesthetic-preference model based on the survey results, and for creating final color cycles that balance accessibility with aesthetics. Additionally, it includes data resulting from the survey and the analysis.
