What Colours are best for Colour blind?
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.
How do you make a graph 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 is color blindness in data visualization?
When it comes to data visualization, careless choice of colors and graphical elements can make a chart ambiguous or even incomprehensible for many people. In fact, not only colorblind people can have problems interpreting data plotted with carelessly-chosen color schemes.
How to make figures and presentations that are friendly to color blind people?
Use not only different colors but also a combination of different shapes, positions, line types and coloring patterns, to ensure that information is conveyed to all users including those who cannot distinguish differences in color. Clearly state color names where users are expected to use color names in communication.
