Unclassified choropleth maps use the technique of assigning color shadings in proportion to the data values. Many cartographers dislike these types of maps because they are unable to classify the information and they feel as if they're losing the ability to communicate the message to the viewer. This map shows the number of internet users in the eastern hemisphere. The colors are assigned to dictate number.
