As a colorblind person I just wished we as a society moved past using color for markings on anything.

  The article says the pallette was designed with colorblindness in mind.

    Perhaps... not color blind, but that choice for blue and blue-greenish (or is it greenish-blue) is not a good one.

      I'd also struggle with the yellow/orange. If you absolutely have to pick colors why not: black, white, red, blue or better still just put "3.2g1 3A"

  > As a colorblind person I just wished we as a society moved past using color for markings on anything. This needs a "solely" inserted, as in "using solely color for markings". Color is a great indicator for a lot of people and much faster to grasp than symbols. It just needs to be complemented by other markers. --- But FWIW I don't agree with the color assignments for 2 reasons: - it doesn't jive with color associations, blue/green should be "better" but TB is yellow. (TB cables are "best") - it doesn't have space for future cables which I'm sure will add to this mess, at least 2 spare colors in the "better" direction would be great.
