please tell me what you think of this chart

I made up a gradient chart to illustrate a varied basking zone for someone, and before I publish it on my web site, I'd like some opinion.

Don't be afraid to call me a loon, I want only to display useful information.

Sweet! But I think they already invented the target a few thousand years ago

Wayne... you are a loon but that is why we like you.

The chart looks really good. I like how simple it is and there is no confusion about what temp hits where. The only thing that I think would add to this is if you said how high the light was to get how large of a space heated at those temps. If that makes sense? Like it the light was 30" off the ground and the center circle was 10" diameter.

Re: please tell me what you think of this chart

the colors are way too bright for me... the outside maroon is fine, but the red, blue, and yellow POP big time at my eyes. The chart itself is good though

I toned down the colours, since I replaced the image on my server, it just replaced the one on my first post.

I like the chart Wayne but why have you gone for grey and green colours?
I think having red at the centre, then oranges followed by yellows, would illustrate it better.

Re: please tell me what you think of this chart

Is this for the monitor site? If so I would recommend having the center spot be two circles together or elongated to show that more than one spotlight is necessary. You want people to get the impression that the center temp zone is big enough to cover the length of the lizard so you don't want them to think a small single area is enough. Just a thought.
