[Paraview-developers] New color map for colorblind folks

[David Thompson]

Hi Alan,

I would be worried that -- even though the palette allows people with one form of color blindness or another to distinguish values -- that it might create perceptual problems for them. We might try one of the color-blindness simulators (like http://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/ ) to see whether the simulated images contain artificial perceptual discontinuities due to sharp changes in the apparent luminance or hue.

Evidently, this group included folks with different types of color blindness.  Although it isn’t my favorite, it appears to be fairly well balanced, and we can’t say it is bad for color blind folks…
