randomly stumbled upon this: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0392.html (way too technical for us, pls ignore)

interesting though:

9.6 Color Vision Deficiency corrections

An earlier version of this spec included a makeshift algorithm to correct for Color Vision Deficiencies. However, this was considered suboptimal for the following reasons:

  • Any operating system level Color Vision Deficiency correction is likely to produce better results.
  • The actual benefit from an accessibility point of view is unclear, given that the Color Vision Deficiency itself already reduces the dynamic range; if the Color Vision Deficiency correction algorithm and the Color Vision Deficiency are not fully in tune about the range reduction, unnecessary additional loss of information may occur.
  • The algorithms introduced significant complexity on some platforms. Future versions of this spec may re-introduce recommendations if especially the second point can be refuted by credible sources.

i'm not sure whether this is in agreement with general recommendations for visualization (i think most recommended color schemes are adjusted for vision deficiencies)
