The 12-bit rainbox palette is very pleasing to my eyes:

The 12-bit rainbow palette

A palette of twelve colours chosen with consideration for how we perceive luminance, chroma, and hue

@dznz really interesting. I will also try it on my dataviz. Do you have a preference about the order of use of colors?

@styx31 I should emphasise that I’m not the creator; that said, I’d probably start towards the middle of the luminance range if I was sequentially picking, say, label colours.

@dznz Yes, I read that. Thanks @kate for this great article :)

Attached: 1 image I designed the 12-bit rainbow palette for use on https://grid.iamkate.com. It consists of twelve colours chosen with consideration for how we perceive hue, chroma, and luminance. The palette uses a 12-bit colour depth, so each colour requires only four characters when specified as a hexadecimal colour code in a CSS or SVG file.
