I thought this was a nice map



This is a map of freshwater use for 1990. I like the background tint a lot and the colors really show up clearly.

Hmmmm..I have to disagree. Although I like the contrast with the black background, it is too bright, too colorful, too intense to clearly read the text. And the color scheme is not appropriate for qualitative data...it should be immediately clear which values are high and which are low. This map does not do that.
