If the key to your infographic looks like this, you’ve failed #colorblind people.

A color-coded chart key. The lightness/darkness indicates how far from the average a given value is. However, the set of colors for positive divergence and negative divergence are (I’m guessing) based on a range of reds and greens(???). To me it all just looks like a mishmash salad of tan, drab olive, and brown.

Seriously, if you create or publish any kind of data visualization on a regular basis, please find out who among your friends is colorblind and run stuff by them every once in awhile?

Same goes for game devs, tbh.

@avuko No idea how well the emulators work but it’s got to be better than nothing. IMHO if you can find a way to add a second redundant layer of representation (say, a unique color *and* pattern) to your data/UX, it’s even better than just finding colors that are readable by colorblind folks.

@avuko @jepyang Wow. I had no idea this existed. And from Microsoft!
Thank you. (I'm #colorblind.)
