Color can be a great way to distinguish data points in charts. But don't rely on color alone to convey information, as that can make things difficult for colorblind users. Using different shapes or patterns can help. Make sure patterns or textures are simple and not distracting.

In some cases like heatmaps which using patterns and shapes are not possible, we can use colorblind-compatible color palettes to make them more accessible:

Now folks who have typical amount and quality of rods & cones know what graphics not designed with accessibility for color blind folks work like...

Definitely an argument for proofing things, but also a good learning opportunity as to how to plan graphics that work for those with various sorts of colorblindness as well. #DisabledAndSTEM #Accessibility https://ecoevo.social/@nev@flipping.rocks/111705147391144724

@ml Not to mention graphics, but doing pH adjustments was always the most annoying part of lab work for me (I usually had to ask my hoodmate). When I went to industry I just bought a ton of digital pH probes #colorblindness #Chemistry

Exposing the scam of color blindness "correcting" glasses

A great documentary that reveal poor science papers, unsubstantiated claims and conflict of interest with the authors. The companies selling them use unethical marketing with undisclosed sponsorships of social media influencers.

Another Republican Senator who parrots #TFG & Hitler.

Sen Tuberville was just asked what he thought of Trump’s “poisoning the blood” comments.

“I’m mad he wasn’t tougher than that. Because have you seen what’s happening at the border? We’re being overrun. They’re taking us over. So a little bit disappointed it wasn’t tougher🚨.” -A Desiderio

These comments must be amplified so Americans understand the Republicans' plan for America, which is anti-IMG & beyond dystopian.

@tob Yes, & I found this:

"Colorblindness is the racial ideology that posits the best way to end discrimination is by treating individuals as equally as possible, w/o regard to race, culture, or ethnicity. At face value -appears to not only amounts to a dismissal of the lived experiences of people of color, but also suggests that racism doesn't exist so long as one ignores it -serves as a device to disengage from conversations of race & racism entirely."

I think #Accessibility #ColorBlindness tools should include a canine mode, just to give people a cute reason to get into color and contrast checking.

One of these days I'm going to make a list of games that are not #colorblind-friendly, and #SuperCluedo and #UnoFlip will make the #Top10.

(Some may find it odd, but I'm actually fine with classic #Uno.)

WHITE TEXT WITH BLACK CONTOUR (or the reverse) IS THE ONLY WAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR OVERLAY WILL BE LEGIBLE

Don't get fancy with colors, even if they seem to provide decent contrast to you.
