Stupid color scheme in the ratings graph

Seems that the "Ratings over time" figure in the developer dashboard has updated recently. Before the update, the color was red for 1-star and green for 5-star which totally makes sense (this screenshot is borrowed from another thread):

Now, it becomes a mess to distinguish different ratings (5>3>1>4>2):

Wow. I mean, wow!

Thank you for the feedback! I have contacted the folks behind this component to see how we can improve it.

Hi,

Sorry about that - there was a bug causing the new color scheme to not be ordered correctly on the ratings chart, but it should be fixed now (darkest blue = 5 stars, lightest blue = 1 star, the rest is ordered as you'd expect).

For some background, we updated the ratings page to be more similar to the other analytics pages as part of an effort to make the dashboard more responsive and mobile-friendly. This included some updates to the color scheme to rely on shades to differentiate ratings, in order to improve accessibility.

Hi Zach, 

this color scheme is awful, colors are very close to each other and I can't tell what's the rating without hovering the mouse. Reordering will not help.
