Bubble charts | how to differentiate bubbles that appear on top of each other?

Hello,


First off: what a great resource this is!


I have two questions regarding a bubble chart that I created.


1) If I want to use a combination of colors for my bubbles, should I individually change each bubble's color?


2) I have a few bubbles (different sizes) that happen to be stacked on top of each other. Therefore, only the largest bubble is visible, while the smaller bubbles are "hidden" underneath. Any suggestions on how to "unhide" these bubbles?


Thanks!

1) Yes, if you really want

2) Change the order of the series/data points, so that the smaller bubble gets plotted "after" the larger bubble.


My question would be why using a bubble chart if it's causing so much trouble? It's very hard to convery a meaningful message with said chart due to our (humans) inability to accurately compare areas.
