Choose from 9 built-in color schemes (Greens, Blues, Reds, Viridis, and more) or set custom min and max colors to match your brand or presentation theme.

Why Choose This Heatmap Template

Key Benefits

Reveals seasonal and weekly patterns that line or bar charts miss
Encodes two dimensions (time period + day type) in a single compact view
Color gradients make high and low intensity periods immediately obvious
Works for any recurring activity — from business metrics to personal habits

Pro Tips

💡Use the 'Greens' scheme for growth or positive metrics, and 'Reds' for risk or volume-based data — color semantics help audiences interpret faster.
💡If your values span a wide range, enabling 'Show values in cells' helps readers understand exact figures beyond the color gradient.
💡Place the legend at the bottom for presentation slides and at the right for dashboards where vertical space is limited.
