Hey all,
I'm working on a project for exploring the personality types of redditors and subreddits on reddit.
And I've got two bar charts with colors I'm unsure about. I used rainbow colors (ROY G BIV) as placeholders, however I'm unsure about what to do for the final color scheme.
Your feedback means a lot to me and any specific recommendations would be a big help.

One thing I would suggest regarding the colors on your webpage is that the label "INFP" gets lost in the presence of a blue background; it's very hard to see black text on a royal blue background. My suggestion is this: use Adobe Kuler to generate a five colors that accomplish these two things: 1) as a group, they are coherent ... 2) one single color of text is readable on every background color.
*Try modifying the 'color rule' on the left side of the screen..."compound" might be a good choice for this application.

I used the tool and bookmarked it . For other reasons I chose to remove the graph from the subreddit pages but here is the result on the redditor page
