Is your new color scheme continuous, sequential, or diverging, and is it appropriate for this dataset? The new color scheme is cyclical. The colors should be opposite for the data set with the blue/greens representing cooler temperatures. This may lead to visual confusion for the user and audience.

How does changing the color scheme impact the readability and visual emphasis of the temperature anomalies? Changing the color scheme allows the user and audience to observe that certain surface temperatures that fall below 0 are shades of red, orange, and yellow; whereas, the other temperatures above zero are shades of blue/green.
