Bar chart best practices

Follow these tips to keep your comparisons easy to read and trustworthy.

Sort categories intentionally

Order bars by value or in a logical sequence so comparisons are effortless. Avoid random ordering which forces your audience to work harder.

Limit the color palette

Use one primary color plus an accent highlight. Too many colors distract from the relative sizes that make bar charts effective.

Label with context

Add clear axis titles, specify units, and consider direct data labels for crucial values to eliminate guesswork.
