Default color scheme

[kum-deepak]

Reference - conversation with @plourenco

I agree, I really enjoy using dc.js but it would be even better if a future release already came loaded with a more modern style up to date with some shinning competitors.

and @gordonwoodhull

As for a default color scheme, I think using one of the categorical schemes from d3-scale-chromatic would be appropriate. There are also one or two places (like the heatmap) where we use continuous color schemes, and any of the diverging color schemes should work. I'm open to other ideas too!

This will finish a process Deepak started in dc@3, where we deprecated d3.schemeCategory20 and copied those colors in for backward compatibility. There is still a warning message which people ask about every once in a while. (#1664 / #1564)

Stack Overflow question claiming that person has to leave dc.js for the styling:

I've been pushed to look for other charting libraries as my manager and client doesn't like how DCjs looks

Hi ,
is dc v4.2.4 is actively supported? is there a ETA/workaround the the below warning default schemeCategory20 on dc 4.2.4 and and reports this warning.

"You are using d3.schemeCategory20c, which has been removed in D3v5. See the explanation at https://github.com/d3/d3/blob/master/CHANGES.md#changes-in-d3-50. DC is using it for backward compatibility, however it will be changed in DCv3.1"
