Bivariate Choropleth Map

http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/3087/what-makes-a-map-be-classed-as-badly-designed

In a bivariate choropleth map, two categories of data are being displayed visually using color on a map. Below, while technically a trivariate choropleth map, is as close as I could find to the map in question without referring to a map already used in 2010 Map Blogs, so I hope you'll cut me some slack. It shows 3 different choropleths, red, blue and magenta, all overlaid together so that the colors mix. It's clever, but you have to know your cover wheel to decipher it at all.
