Alternative colour presets for the colourblind?

JobLeonard commented 11 years ago

I'm ~~deuteranopic~~ protanopic. I don't ragequit very often, but when I do, it's because I keep bumping into a wall within a second due to not knowing which snake is mine.

Sorry about that. Knowing very little about colorblindness, what are some alternative colors that avoid confusion for most types of colorblindness?

Hah, good question - I don't know! I never really think about the colours I choose - they're automatically the ones I can distinguish, after all.

Surprisingly, Google does not provide any "standard palettes" or anything, but I found these tools so you can simulate colourblindness for yourself:

http://colororacle.org/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorblind-simulator/?src=search

Might be useful to have in general for any website you'll design later?

PS: Maybe I should have mentioned the ragequit was a tongue-in-cheek joke.
