new color scheme for country charts
[edit]Based on my new charts I have selected a new color scheme for the comparison of countries. The main idea was to select a color from the country's flag. But there are just too many countries with red, blue, yellow, green. Sorry for UK - I favored "Allez les bleus". For an image size I chose 5x7" (127 x 178 mm).
| Color | hex | Country |

| 007a33 | Italy | |
| 0055a4 | France | |
| ffcd00 | Germany | |
| cc66ff | United Kingdom |
