Keep every number readable and tint each cell
by its value, so the table can be scanned for
patterns and read for exact figures. Keep the
colors light enough that text stays legible in
the darkest cells. Karsten valued the same
quality in the cross-hatched shading of
his day:
“It is an advantage of the cross-hatching
symbols that they do not, as a rule, interfere
with lettering which may be also wanted on
the various parts of the chart . . .” (Karl G.
Karsten,
Charts and Graphs
, 1923, p. 647).
