Question: Is there any method to the colouring, or is it random? Spencer^T♦^C 02:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, the shading was used to distinguish them a little and so it won't look too simple. It is like the map of the United States, which is usually randomly colored regardless of the 13 colonies. Zoo Fari 02:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"So it wouldn't look so simple" really isn't a great reason for doing anything graphically; simplicity is bliss. As for distinguishing between the counties, four shades is the minimum needed to make the distinction. Otherwise, it makes it seem like you've classified the counties into two types, since it's hard to associate randomness by design in the shading when there's only two different shades.

Oppose It's a good picture, and informative, but it doesn't stand out. It strikes me as more appropriate for a valued picture. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 02:56, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looks like there is something going on in Washington County. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:02, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the county names are on the counties, then covered up, and labeled with text elements. Just makes the image larger for no purpose. gren グレン 20:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Sophus Bie (above). --Eustress (talk) 06:25, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Also, the name of the northernmost county, Boundary is misspelled. Spikebrennan (talk) 21:09, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
