In terms of colours I have used yellow and grey rather than green and red or orange and blue. I wanted to find neutral ground and not stereotype the data points with colours. Grey seemed like a good choice for a non-diverse environment, while yellow to me reflects opportunity and harmony (through integration, hopefully).
