: Companion colormap for text highlight color Edit: I am looking for resources (articles, books, posts) which study the choice of a single color to highlight text and a sequential color for two

Edit:
I am looking for resources (articles, books, posts) which study the choice of a single color to highlight text and a sequential color for two and three dimensional plots such that both are harmonic.

Here is an example where I used pgfplots hot colormap for the surface plot and a simple red to highlight text.

documentclass{tufte-book}
usepackage{lipsum,pgfplots}

begin{document}
chapter{Data Visualization}
lipsum[66]
begin{center}
textsf{remperature color{red} 37.1}
end{center}
lipsum[66]
begin{center}
begin{tikzpicture}
begin{axis}[view={55}{45},width=.7linewidth,height=6cm,axis lines=none]
addplot3[surf, samples=41, domain=0:360] {sin(x)*sin(y)};
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
end{center}

lipsum[66]

end{document}




I am looking for studies that say something like "... the highlight color should be 80% of the maximum color in the sequential colormap."
