I was just sketching out the idea of a project timeline as a color palette, each milestone a different hue. Do you ever think of your deadlines in terms of a paintbrush, or is it all numbers for you?

Numbers. A color palette is nice, but deadlines need concrete dates and deliverables. If you want a visual, use a Gantt chart—no ambiguity, no wasted time.

Numbers work, of course, but a Gantt chart feels a bit like a black‑white sketch—no texture, no light. I’d prefer a timeline that’s more than just dates, one that lets the colors of progress bleed into each other, even if it’s still concrete enough to read.

Fine. Use a stacked bar chart with color-coded phases. Each bar shows progress, the color gradient shows transition, and the dates stay on the axis. No fluff, just a clear visual.

A stacked bar chart does look a bit like a palette in motion, but I hope the gradients don’t get lost in the data. Keep the axes crisp, the colors subtle—no bright pop, just a quiet transition. That should keep the numbers visible while the story of progress stays in shade.

Understood. Implement the stacked bars with subtle gradients, keep the axis labels clean, and verify that the color shifts don't obscure the numbers. Check for readability before finalizing.
