Description
Especially in the plot balances-energy.pdf there are some technologies that are hard to distinguish, e.g.
- similar colours of green both for synfuels and heat pumps
- similar colours of red for gas and heat
- grey for transport and hot water storage
- black for electricity, gas for industry, CC
We should come up with a less ambiguous color scheme, but I don't want to propose changes alone.
