| Apr 3, 2018 at 14:08 | comment | added | SGR | @Orphevs By my reckoning, it seems to be drawing attention to the fact that people with tritanopia will still struggle with this pallet, but I'm guessing that pallet is the best compromise between the three major forms of colour blindness. | |
| Apr 3, 2018 at 8:04 | comment | added | Orphevs | @Emilio note also that the lines in the second diagram connect colours that seem very similar. It could be that this is not a selection interval, but a way to draw more attention to unsafe colour choices. | |
| Apr 2, 2018 at 13:55 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | here is how I understand the charts: on the left you see how colors are seen by someone with normal vision (top panel), and someone with a particular form of color blindness (bottom panel); this chart is a warning: colors in a single column that are easily distinguished by normal vision are very similar for the color blind; then the chart on the right will help you to choose colors that can be distinguished by persons with one of three forms of color blindness; if three colors suffice, choose one from the first 3 elements on the top row, one from the next 6 elements, and one from the last 3. | |
| Apr 2, 2018 at 12:39 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | This is an excellent answer, but I'm having some trouble understanding exactly how your chart is meant to be interpreted. Is the chart on the left a 'choose one from each column' situation? What's the deal with the chart on the right, and what are the lines under the tritanopia row? | |
