What Colours are Colour blind friendly?
Use a colour-blind-friendly palette when appropriate
For example, blue/orange is a common colour-blind-friendly palette. Blue/red or blue/brown would also work. For the most common conditions of CVD, all of these work well, since blue would generally look blue to someone with CVD.
Can colorblind people see pink and purple?
Problems can arise across the entire colour spectrum potentially affecting perception of all reds, greens, oranges, browns, purples, pinks and greys. Even black can be confused as dark red, dark green or dark blue/purple.
What do colorblind people see instead of purple?
A person with protan type color blindness tends to see greens, yellows, oranges, reds, and browns as being more similar shades of color than normal, especially in low light. A very common problem is that purple colors look more like blue.
