ColorTool is a plugin for ArcMap™
(part of the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop suite)
that helps users create choropleth maps using ColorBrewer color ramps.
The program runs from a button in the toolbar and opens a form that guides the user in
choosing a classification scheme. For more information on the color options, visit
ColorBrewer.org.
ColorTool supports Quantile, Equal Interval, Natural Breaks (Jenks), and
Unique Value classification types.
This map was created using ColorTool's diverging
red-yellow-blue, six-group theme with a Quantile classification:

There are also legend options, area borders, and exclusion statements in the tool.
ColorTool simplifies the display process by offering preset color schemes and eliminating
incompatible options.
