The QlikView application by the Qlik company (www.qlik.com) visualizes data analysis using charts, graphs, and KPIs. It has its own built-in color values, but also offers the ability to have visual designers define their own, based on a client's needs. This gist contains a palette I've been using when needing to present many differing colors in varying light levels. Using these as a base, QlikView can calculate variations using a hue and key offset, allowing for a full palette to meet every need.
