Never use both "very extreme" colors on the same county map, as they are nearly indistinguishable. They should only be used to indicate areas of nearly-unanimous support for landslide results. Consider using them for precinct maps, if every "very extreme" precinct's result can be easily inferred from the less extreme precincts surrounding it. (Remember most readers will be less familiar with the area's political geography than you.)
