Bar chart best practices
Follow these tips to keep your comparisons easy to read and trustworthy.
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.
