Fix maze gif to be colourblind friendly #30

Open jameshughes89 opened 3 years ago

jameshughes89 commented 3 years ago

As @twentylemon notes

On the gif, the exit cell and the popped cells will be nearly identical colours to colour blind folks. Deuteranopia is the most common, roughly 1% of the male population, dontchaknow. Colour blind colour wheel google.

It would be good to make this more accessible.

I've asked a colour blind friend of mine, the colours are discernable. He did say, though:

LGTM
BUT the “white grid” makes my eyes hurt
like, I see small circles at the intersections. Maybe a littler grey instead of black works better

jameshughes89 commented 1 year ago

I tried playing with

white -> light grey -> more grey -> MORE grey

But the little circles still persist. This one may be trickier to address.

Is this better? I can't tell

https://venngage.com/blog/color-blind-friendly-palette/ -- scroll down, there's nice colour wheels there for each common colour blindness.

IIRC my point was the colour of the squares themselves, not the background. Basically stick to the top half of colour wheel and you're good. Red is basically green, make it a very pale green (add yellow) and you're good. (check deuteranopia)
