The wrap on the smaller values at the bottom make it hard to compare the relative sizes visually. Looking up a country by color- so many shades and the data color is on a different background than the legend color. The difference in value between the white and the grey background is bigger than the difference between some of the data colors. It's a interesting visual pattern but useless as data. Good example of what not to do. Terrible. The wrap on the smaller values at the bottom make it hard to compare the relative sizes visually.
