RE: Heat map / Index colouring needs to be updated.
@idefix37 Thank you for the info. I appreciate the help!
(I used 'heat map' figuratively, not literally)I also noticed that all other maps were actually represented quite well with the colour indexing except for the wind map, so I found that weird.
I can now see that the colour indexing follows 'Beaufort scale' that sailors use for navigation. Perhaps there are variants of the scale colouring they use? The wikipedia article actually shows a scale that actually looks pretty straight forward.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scaleNot complaining - just hoping to making this already awesome app even better.
Kudos for all the good work!

Heat map / Index colouring needs to be updated.
Hey Windy devs -
I love the app for its massive features and beautiful interface, but one thing really needs to be represented better visually - its the heat map or the colour indexing currently in use. You can see in the attached image that the colouring for 0-5kts [B] is almost identical to colouring for 50-60kts [A]. This is super confusing, and can be problematic if misinterpreted.My humble suggestion would be to use a non repeating spectrum of colours (such as from blue to red, with blue being lowest and red being highest, etc.)
Or perhaps I am missing something here and I would be happy to understand why those colours are similarly chosen.
Thank you for all the amazing work & Cheers!!
