Good job, expect I find colors pretty unintuitive - why red means negative? It's color definitly connected with love, anger, war etc. So blue is for cold or maybe not showing emotions. I would definitely rethink that. And senitment analysis not always work - get a tweet rated as "sweet" ended with ":(".

well, i have to say the mapping of colours to concepts is highly cultural, so in some places it means anger, or war, or love or joy.

I chose red and blue because they're quite perceptually separated, so it's easy to point them out on the map.

I personally feel like the colors shouldn't affect color blind individuals (e.g. light blue and orange). But great job overall!
Hey thanks for the feedback, I'll change the "bad" colour to orange - should be easy enough to do!
Very cool, thanks!
