Excellent post, very informative and with nice animations (check the bonus interactive animation at the end of the page), my only comment is to use different colours/colors (or dashed lines) for the graphs, it’s a bit confusing having the same color for different percentiles.

Also take the time to check out other posts/pages by Sam! Well done mate ;-)




indeed, a really great post! In case you decide to change the colors or need another reason I also want to add, that in general red/green is difficult for color-blind people. About 8% of male population is affected by red/green color blindness.


The colour palette I used on the graphs is the Wong palette I found at https://davidmathlogic.com/colorblind/.

Or are you talking about the animations? I reached out to some colourblind folks I knew before publishing and they didn’t flag those, just the graphs. Happy to change the animations as well if they’re problematic. :)


The PEWMA vs LC bar graph uses red and green, and ends up looking like single set of brown bars.
