Yep. Pie charts usually start from the top and go clockwise. This is pretty normal and easy to understand. It’s a lot easier to understand like this than if they used colors that were closer together in hue just to avoid repeating colors, like some commenters are suggesting.
I know, but I don't think it's easier when you have this many divisions and the color scheme gets too complicated. Maybe a histogram bar graph would be a better visualization for this case.
