The color scheme is straight from colorbrewer and marked as "print-friendly" so it looks almost identical on-screen and off it, especially since I worked in CMYK to make sure that the colors would all mix well in ink instead of just on-screen. I have no problems with the way this looks printed versus on screen, although it looks slightly better on screen just because when you look closely at the printed map, you can see some slight printing errors where colors aren't 100% consistent for all of each state, but these are only visible when holding it right up to your face.
I really like the shade of blue that I used for the background, I'm going to have to make sure to file that CMYK number set away somewhere.
