Pardo doesn’t mean mixed, it means brown. Like, literally, „pardo“ is the Portuguese word for the colour „tan“. A brown bear is the „urso-pardo“, meaning „brown bear“, a cougar might be called „onça-parda“, meaning „brown large cat“, and while most people identifying as brown in Brazil are „mixed“, brown includes people from ethnicites that just happen to have dark skin but not Subsaharan dark.

Do Brazilians share the same ethnic mindset as those in the US?
For example, for me the French and the Germans are different ethnic groups.

Even not including the pardo people who most of the world would consider Black or mixed, there has got to be more straight up Black people in Bahia. Does the coloring only show the majority group? Even if the numbers show a pardo majority, Bahia is a cradle of Black (and not mixed or mulatto) culture and that is something many people there are proud of and find central to their identity.

Does Brazil’s census copy the US race categories? this happens to look kinda similar to the US with White areas in the Midwest and Northeast, more Black populations in the South, Hispanic/Latino in the Southwest and Florida, and Asian in the West but that’s really just a coincidence, not by design.

So glad you included Black in the legend.
