What colors are color blind friendly?
The first rule of making a palette for colorblind – avoid combining red and green. So if you're aiming to create a color blind-friendly palette try to use only two basic hues: blue and red (orange and yellow will also fit). The other colors should be made out of these two hues.
What color should you avoid using for individuals who are color blind?
Avoid the following color combinations, which are especially hard on color blind people: Green & Red; Green & Brown; Blue & Purple; Green & Blue; Light Green & Yellow; Blue & Grey; Green & Grey; Green & Black.

What is the color red usually perceived as by users with color blindness?
Red-green color blindness.

How do I make my website color blind friendly?
