Question: Can you suggest resources or tips for picking colors that are friendly for color-blind people? Is it easier to differentiate based upon saturation?
There are tools that can change the colors of your screen to simulate different kinds of color blindness, that makes it pretty easy to test for the basics. I've been using this one in the past: https://colororacle.org/
But in general, it's also just a good guideline to never rely only on color to communicate important information, and always also have a graphical or textual cue to go with the color.
I try to differentiable based on lightness/brightness
I don't have any go to tool :( bit of over color is father than the other is easier to see
Thank you!
