File talk:Islam in Europe.png

There is a problem with Kaliningrad and Sardinia (and other islands) appearing in the colour of their mother countries even though they have probably much smaller Muslim populations. But so far I couldn't be bothered to figure out these sub-national Muslim populations separately. Most Muslim populations in Western Europe are completely urban anyway, so it would make more sense to give bright green dots for London, Paris, Marseille etc. This is just a "by-country bucket fill" job.

I would also like to make this a strictly geometric scale, i.e. 1%-2%, 2%-4%, 4%-8%, 8%-16%, 16%-32%, 32%-64% and >64% in order to avoid an arbitrary and possibly suggestive leap in colour-coding, but I had to select the tiers in order to accommodate error bars, especially France "7%-10%" --Dbachmann (talk) 10:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Distinguishing the greens difficult

Distinguishing the greens between 10% and 95% is very difficult. Can we somehow adjust the colours in this picture to help distinguish between the green of, say, (FYRO) Macedonia and Bulgaria -- which is a difference of between 10% and 30%. -- Donama (talk) 05:36, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Noticed, when editing this in an imaging tool, that the legend for the colours and the respective countries is not correct. For instance, Macedonia's colour was the same as that of Albania, but they're supposedly 20-60 percentage points apart. Anyway I've recoloured the image to a clear spectrum containing a changing brightness (level of white) rather than changing intensity of green, which hopefully will make the image more useful.

Thanks, this is a huge improvement. I think it would be much better to use the classical population density colors, the green shades are in no way intuitive while everyone has seen thousands of classical population desntity maps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Population_density.png Richiez (talk) 12:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
