Colorizing contribution of variables

Hi,

I am going to assume that you are using factoextra, and are working
the example from the function in question, but it would be useful for
you to explicitly state that when you're asking a question about a
particular package and function.

When you choose the argument "contrib" the colors are based on the
strength of the relationship overall (the length of the arrow), not
the contribution of any individual direction.

See here http://www.sthda.com/english/wiki/factoextra-r-package-easy-multivariate-data-analyses-and-elegant-visualization
and the various other sources of documentation for the packages.
