   Nice job and congrats on a fun customer. You might want to work on the color scheme a bit more, and in particularly their relationship. What's the relationship/meaning between orange/green? I'd either use the color wheel or something that represents each season (brown for autumn, yellow for summer, etc). Either that or let the color further emphasize the highs/lows. And I'd probably look for an existing color scheme with good harmony in and use it straight off.

   I'd also add some contrast to each color by having a border with the same color but a bit darker and more saturated, like here: http://dribbble.com/shots/180019-Chartin. That makes you able to relaxen the solidness/heavyness of the color a bit, without losing clarity.

   Lastly, and I hope I'm not picking too much on you here, just want to provide some feedback, if I may: dropshadows with blur tend to make the picture seem a bit dirty/smudgy (clouds and sun). Again, look at the dropshadows at the image I linked: very subtle, right? I'd try using that here, too.

   Hope any of that helps, keep it up. :)

   Jonatan – stort tack för feedback!

   Graph colors relates to the overall color scheme of the annual report. The color scheme is based on the orange/red (faluröd) that symbolizes Skansen, and with addition of complementary colors. The graphs show number of visitors. Fill color shows average temperature per week, where the color scale is going from hot to cold (well, roughly because I wanted to stick to the existing color scheme).

   Again, appreciate your feedback and the image you linked.

   Hope talking to you again!
