A pie chart is a circular statistical graph which is divided into segments to represent numerical proportions. A 'nice color scheme' for a pie chart refers to a set of colors that are visually appealing and effectively differentiate between the different segments. The choice of colors should be based on contrast and should not be overly similar to each other. This can be achieved through color theory, which is a branch of aesthetics concerned with the nature and effects of color as perceived visually. Good color schemes often use a combination of complementary colors, analogous colors, or monochromatic shades to enhance readability and aesthetic appeal.
