It is generally called the Okabe-Ito palette since it was created nine years before the Wong paper. But I digress.
Colorblind-friendly color palettes are not sufficient in all cases - even a non-color-deficient person will have trouble distinguishing similar colors when the total area is small (as often occurs in thin lines or dots), or if there are simply too many colors in a plot.

There really is no perfect solution for all cases, which is why we don't just have a set of hard-and-fast rules for making figures, though there are definitely some choices that are better than others.
