Plots hard to analyze for colorblind people

[marcojob]

For colorblind people it's almost impossible to distinguish red and green plots in certain cases; would be nice if there was a way to change all plots color to a different set. Example where it's hard to see the difference between lines:

Can you make a specific suggestion?

[marcojob]

Sure, there is plenty of colorblind friendly palettes, i.e:

I think it could be a nice addition for the enhancement backlog (if this exists) since around 8% of men and 0.5% of women are affected by some degree of color blindness.

Sure, I have no problem changing colors, it's just that everything needs to be checked to still work and harmonize. I can do that when I find the time.

@bkueng Any update on this? I'm colorblind too and find it hard to distinguish red and green lines. Where are the config for the color codes specified? In the meantime, I can make the changes in my local server.

I updated the colors in config.py in my local based on the palette shared by @marcojob. The combination of colors also matters. I had to use a combination of a darker & a lighter color for the two primary colors to distinguish better.

plot_color_blue = '#56b4e9' # original: #2877a2, #3539e0
plot_color_red = '#d55e00' # original: #e0212d

color_gray = '#464646'
colors8 = ['#d55e00','#f0e442','#0072b2','#009e73','#f0e442','#56b4e9','#cc79a7','#000000']
colors3 = colors8[0:3]
colors2 = colors8[0:2] # for data to express: 'what it is' and 'what it should be'
