2. Why design for colorblindness? The frequency of colorblindness is fairly high. – 7 to 10% of the overall male population is red-green colorblind. Colorblind people cannot distinguish certain colors

4. More things you can do! Select colors that are easier to distinguish (e.g., ColorBrewer) Ensure that there is enough contrasts in brightness & saturation between foreground and background Make texts or objects as thick or BIG as possible Caution when using RED
