A color theme (also called a choropleth map) is a thematic map in which administrative areas are colored or shaded according to the range in which the aggregated statistic of interest falls. Color themes can also be used to represent non-ordered data. Unlike a heat map, a choropleth map applies colors to geographic areas such as states, counties, postal codes, or other features with defined boundaries.
A color theme of quantitative data: This map uses color to illustrate the median income by ZIP Code in and around New York City. The darker the color, the higher the median income is in that ZIP Code.
A color theme of nominal data: This map uses color to illustrate how each parcel is zoned.
