I am in the process of constructing an un-classed, trivariate choropleth map of Africa. By utilizing the RGB spectrum, variable “A” receives a Red value (0-255 in Illustrator), “B” a Blue value, and “C” a Green value. The resulting values give each country a unique color. Everything was going smoothly until I tried to build a legend.
I understand a single un-classed variable is represented by a line,
An un-classed bivariate is represented by a square,
But if I’m not interested in going interactive, how can I show an un-classed trivariate legend on paper?

Equilateral Triangle, map one of your variables along each of its sides. I think I have a textbook showing a sample around here somewhere.

I'd be curious to see what this map looks like - I can't help to be quite sceptical to the communication/interpretation of such a map, but it sounds interesting!
