Lab 6: Color Choropleth Map

I really like how color makes these maps stand out.  I stayed with my Equal Interval style and it was hard to read the gray-scale, but the blues and greens here really highlight how the central, southern states in America have a higher percentage of teen pregnancy.  On screen, the colors here seem to be much more vibrant than on the printed version.  The dark blue in the highest-percentile group seems to have changed the most, and stands out a lot more clearly on-line.  The mid-range colors look the closest to the print version.  If I were to change anything, it would be to make the darker hues deeper to stand out more on the paper printout.  Also trying different color printers would be interesting, to see if that changes the color tints.
