Where is the research to back this up? While I've seen tons of articles that go into great detail on how to simulate and accommodate various forms of colorblindness, the idea that those accommodations have no negative impact on the rest of the population appears to be taken as an axiom that somehow requires no data to support it.
- xyzzy_plugh 4y agoMost charts don't have a ton of data. Choosing four accessible colors is not challenging. Most UIs are monochromatic. I'm not sure I need data, most interfaces or designs you see already accommodate color blindness via simplicity. Those that do not can almost always do so by adjusting the palette subtly, with almost no perceptual difference for those who are not colorblind. Obviously simulating colorblindness on a general graphics level is less effective, and I don't think anyone is suggesting we apply such filters universally. The center of my argument is that it is easy with software, which has consumed the information world, to simply offer alternative viewing modes, of which colorblind modes are not very complicated.
