Hey hive mind,

What's the best set of color palettes for being color vision deficiency-friendly AND gray scale-friendly?

Viridis?? 👉 cran.r-project.org/web/package Something else?

I tend to use colors derived from the color-blind palettes at colorbrewer2.org, and also the Okabe-Ito set. Since ~2019, the default color palette for base R, is based on Okabe-Ito (IIRC).

There are tools (e.g. web browser extensions), that simulate colorblindness, so it is easy to see the effect of a color selection.

I have a moderate degree of #Deuteranomaly (red-green), that is why this topic interests me. :-)

@jmcastagnetto @allbriteallday colorblindr::cvd_grid() is great for checking if plots are cvd friendly - quicker than a web app
