Where I live we now have got through the 10 weeks of the year with less than 9 hours of daylight and are approaching what I like to call the "rapidly lengthening daylight" period of the year. This #dataviz shows the weekly loss and gain of daylight at 51 degrees north.

I did something a while back to generate color palettes and test them for color blindness. You can adjust degree of colour blindness as well!
