How to Customize
Replace the Data
Swap out the economic indicators for your own variables — sales metrics, survey responses, biomarkers, or any numeric dataset — using the data table in the config panel.
Adjust Colors and Scale
Toggle custom colors on or off, pick a color scheme from Viridis, Plasma, Reds, Blues, and more, or set your own min/max colors to match your brand or presentation theme.
Refine Labels and Layout
Control cell size, gap, border radius, font sizes, and legend position so the chart fits perfectly whether you are exporting for a slide, a report, or a web embed.
Key Benefits
- Start with a realistic, professionally structured economic correlation matrix — no blank slate
- Color encoding makes strong and weak relationships obvious at a glance, reducing cognitive load
- Symmetric layout with diagonal perfect-correlation cells builds instant credibility with data-savvy audiences
- Works for any domain: finance, science, marketing, healthcare, or operations
Pro Tips
- Keep your correlation values between -1 and 1 — the color scale is calibrated for this range and will break otherwise
- Use a diverging color palette (like the blue-to-red custom scheme in this template) so zero correlation appears neutral and extremes pop visually
- Reorder rows and columns to cluster correlated variables together — patterns become even more obvious when related indicators are adjacent
