let me tell you a simple story
1. team A developed some really nice looking graphs from customer data we already collected
2. a member of team A pointed out he is colorblind and the palette did not work for him
3. product manager took the time to research this and figure out how we might make the palette configurable for those who are colorblind
4. CEO got wind of this and called everyone involved into a meeting. The decision of the CEO was no one would ever use colors for any data presentation. The only allowable color was a shade of gray
I'd like to point out that using only a shade of gray for "colors" effectively makes the entire planet colorblind
- bluGill 3y agoAs someone who is colorblind I find shades of gray better than the colors I often see. OTOH, I can see most colors just fine, it is just that some colors most people think are very different look the same to me. There are a handful of people on earth who cannot see colors at all.
