Create dynamic d3 color scale between two color values

Question

I have a d3 pie chart with a color function:

var color = d3.scale.ordinal()
            .range(['#0075B4', '#70B5DC']);

If there are only two values/pieces, this works. But if there are more, I want to pick colors between the two given.

Above, with 3 pie pieces, the piece labelled "Cost 3" would have the color that is between #0075B4 and #70B5DC.

Is this possible with d3? Here is a jsfiddle of what I have so far: http://jsfiddle.net/9ruzntrr/1/

Answer 1

Yes, just use colors in a linear scale:

var color = d3.scale.linear().domain([costMin,costMax])
        .range(['#0075B4', '#70B5DC']);
