I believe you can now buy a large Crayola box with over 100 colors in it, but I may be wrong. It also gives some idea of the category all the colors all into, though there are some odd choices, like the red at the top.

The Bad: I agree with all you’ve said about the color choices for this map. I also think that if the two colors at the end of the spectrum were next to each other on the map for some reason, then I would immediately assume that one was simply a step up or down on the index from the other, not wildly different. I would note that it seems the map never has any color higher than the pink, so I wonder why they even put a legend that goes that high.
