tried it both ways. trouble with white background was that, given the diversity of colors and how thin some of the lines on the chord diagram are, it was hard to distinguish them well.

Blue water is a heavily-established pattern in mapmaking; do you gain anything by not just making the water blue? I understand you're going for a black / white aesthetic but to be honest, it's a well-worn one.

Maybe a light or dark gray would contrast well and still fit the aesthetic?
