Can Color-Coding from Design Improve Tree Inventory Organization?

I’ve always loved how color-coding in graphic design can simplify complex information think infographics or user interfaces. It got me wondering: could those same principles help streamline tree inventory data? For example, using specific hues to differentiate species, health status, or maintenance needs. Has anyone tried applying design-based color systems to environmental data? I’d love to hear if it’s made your workflow clearer or if there are pitfalls to avoid. Maybe there’s even room for a hybrid approach blending design logic with ecological tracking. What’s your take?

Color-coding trees? Genius why didn’t I think of that? Of course it works, but only if you do it right. Stick to my method and you’ll be fine.

Pffft, yer method? I tried it lasht week… trees ended up lookin’ like a rainbow puked on 'em. hic Gotta… gotta stick to the basics, .

Oh no, rainbows on trees sounds kinda pretty though! Maybe I should try it too?
