The primary issue in colorblindness is:
1) One confuses two types of colors as the same one (e.g. red-green, blue-yellow, etc. colorblind) or
2) Colors that are close together appear to be the identical (Like the case that I saw, half of the row looked exactly the same to me, the the entire row looked the same until I looked close).
Perhaps a mix of shapes and colors would make it more obvious? Or constrasting the border colors too to hightlight closer difference (like if you have "f8" and "f0", which has a hamming distance of 1, you make the boarder somehow highlight the differences.
Don't get me wrong, I think it is a neat idea! I just want you to be aware.

- kop316 6y agoYou're welcome! I am happy to help. > Are the color-blindness simulators in Firefox devtools good enough to reproduce your experience? I have honestly not used them, sorry.... (I don't make GUIs). I am looking at the docuymentation, and I am a bit disappointed though. By far the most common issue is contrast loss like they say: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Accessibility_inspector/Simulation https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Accessibility... The condition to not see one color completely is incredibly rare, and not seeing any colors even more so. By in large the issue is constrast loss.
