Sending to my team!

It definitely takes the right type of employee to see this task through. I can appreciate tour agile approach to getting feedback from coworkers.

What decision criteria did you use when analyzing feedback from the team? Were you Just looking for a majority sign off? I find that conversations around colors and formatting never really end in 100% agreement.

Yep, it’s really difficult to follow branding colors from existing logos and websites… AND use sufficient color contrast… AND choose colors that can be printed in grayscale… AND choose colors that are legible for people with color vision deficiencies.

Are you familiar with direct labeling? That’s the dataviz technique that helps you achieve accessibility, regardless of the brand colors that you need to follow.

Thanks for mentioning venngage! There are lots of great accessibility resources but I hadn’t seen that particular one before.

However I have a concern about red-green colour blindness. You can see simulations at https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/

I took screenshots and uploaded it to the webpage, and under red-weak or red-blind, you’ll see that the purple and the blue don’t differentiate well.

There are some good options for colour palettes here: https://venngage.com/blog/color-blind-friendly-palette/
