“…Klein et al. [ 11 ] apply a similar adaptive multi-scale coloring scheme in the context of microtubule dynamics, where molecules are mainly colored according to structure and have similar arbitrary initial coloring assignments. Developing guidelines from some of the basic rules established in these works, in conjunction with more specific structural or functional coloring rules, could lead to more effective molecular visualizations.…”

“…Limited works in visualization have addressed color treatment in molecular visualizations. These consider the use of illumination models to cue features on molecular surfaces [ 8 , 9 ] and coloring of multiscale molecular visualizations [ 10 , 11 ]. While the application of high luminance colors to focus objects is a consistent recommendation of these works, color assignment on the whole is largely arbitrary and lacks consistent semantic meaning.…”

Biomedical illustration and visualization techniques provide a window into complex molecular worlds that are difficult to capture through experimental means alone. Biomedical illustrators frequently employ color to help tell a molecular story, e.g., to identify key molecules in a signaling pathway. Currently, color use for molecules is largely arbitrary and often chosen based on the client, cultural factors, or personal taste. The study of molecular dynamics is relatively young, and some stakeholders argue that color use guidelines would throttle the growth of the field. Instead, content authors have ample creative freedom to choose an aesthetic that, e.g., supports the story they want to tell. However, such creative freedom comes at a price. The color design process is challenging, particularly for those without a background in color theory. The result is a semantically inconsistent color space that reduces the interpretability and effectiveness of molecular visualizations as a whole. Our contribution in this paper is threefold. We first discuss some of the factors that contribute to this array of color palettes. Second, we provide a brief sampling of color palettes used in both industry and research sectors. Lastly, we suggest considerations for developing best practices around color palettes applied to molecular visualization.

“…For example, Waltemate et al [WSB14] visualize membrane dynamics at molecular resolution in small “patches” of the cell membrane. More recent works visualize microtubule dynamics [KVGM19] or dynamics of mitochondria and cell transport vesicles [PKWM20], the latter of which is shown in Fig. 10.…”

Combining elements of biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine, the science of human physiology is complex and multifaceted. In this report, we offer a broad and multiscale perspective on key developments and challenges in visualization for physiology. Our literature search process combined standard methods with a state-of-the-art visual analysis search tool to identify surveys and representative individual approaches for physiology. Our resulting taxonomy sorts literature on two levels. The first level categorizes literature according to organizational complexity and ranges from molecule to organ. A second level identifies any of three high-level visualization tasks within a given work: exploration, analysis, and communication. The findings of this report may be used by visualization researchers to understand the overarching trends, challenges, and opportunities in visualization for physiology and to provide a foundation for discussion and future research directions in this area.
