The document explored how color can be used to evoke affective responses in data visualizations. It discussed three studies: 1) An image analysis that analyzed colors commonly associated with different affects, 2) A study where designers created color palettes to convey affects, and 3) A study where users ranked the designed palettes. The results showed validated relationships between affect categories, color properties, and palette composition. The document concluded color can express affect in data visualizations and introduced network modeling as a way to characterize palette composition.
