This write-up will serve as a guide on how to use the symbology and colors found in information products and tutorials.

The document is organized into the following subchapters:

1. Recommended colors for the CLUP Map
2. Recommended colors for some information products
3. Recommended symbology for point features

A Color will be presented with its RGB-code.

1. Recommended colors for the CLUP map
In Annex 4-3 of Volume 1 the following colors are recommended. For the sake of consistency between different CLUP maps, these recommendations should be obeyed. The table below differs from the Annex 4-3 table in that the paths to ArcGIS standard symbols are included.

2. Recommended Colors for some Information Products

Colors Separating Different Categories
The objectives of some of the Information Products are only to present an inventory of different land categories. The recommended colors in these IPs conform in the most cases to the land use categories defined above for the CLUP map. However, note that in other cases colors are recommended only for a clear map presentation within the specific information product.

It is recommended that areas in an IP that are defined as not suitable are assigned hatching patterns.

Qualitative Scales.
Several Information Products in the Socio-Economic sector deal with quality indicators in a scale often ranging fair-poor-critical. These will be used in the needs analyses. A simple, intuitive and coherent color coding through different maps is:

When different indicators are overlaid with each other, it is better to concentrate only on the poor and/or critical areas. Different types of hatching will refer to different indicators, thus from the map the following can be interpreted (see example below). Also refer to the respective Information Product.

Quantitative Scales

Examples of indicators that are quantitatively compared to one another are population size and density per barangay, revenue per capita per barangay and crop yield per cultivated area. ArcGIS assign automatically a color scale grouping the value of the indicator in automatically rendered groups. It is recommended to use scales where darker colors refer to higher values and lighter colors to lower values. Also, the groups can be manually edited, which is recommended, especially if defined revenue categories exist.

3. Recommended Symbology for Point Features

The table below presents symbols used in different IPs (ascending by IP number). The location of the symbol is given.

Tip! The symbols in the document (when HTML!) are bitmap-files. You can right-click on each symbol image and store in the ArcGIS symbology folder (normally it is found here: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Bin\Styles\). You can then create a new style file and add the symbols as marker picture symbols. Refer to ArcGIS help section for this.
