-The default color scheme, *turbo*, was chosen primarily to ensure high-contrast visibility. Color schemes such as *blues* make low-value marks difficult to see against a white background, for better or for worse—set the *range* to a section of the default [0, 1] to restrict the colors. If you wish to encode a quantitative value without hue, consider using *opacity* rather than *color* (e.g., use Plot.dot’s *strokeOpacity* instead of *stroke*).
+The default color scheme, *turbo*, was chosen primarily to ensure high-contrast visibility. Color schemes such as *blues* make low-value marks difficult to see against a white background, for better or for worse. To use a subset of a continuous color scheme (or any single-argument *interpolate* function), set the *scale*.range property to the corresponding subset of [0, 1]; for example, to use the first half of the *rainbow* color scheme, use a range of [0, 0.5]. By default, the full range [0, 1] is used. If you wish to encode a quantitative value without hue, consider using *opacity* rather than *color* (e.g., use Plot.dot’s *strokeOpacity* instead of *stroke*).
