My brother-out-law is looking over a document that includes pictures distinguishing certain areas of the image using different-coloured dots over the areas.
Green dots and red dots.
My brother-out-law is red-green colourblind.
Which means he had to ask me which area was green.
Clarity of visual data presentation: you're doing it wrong. Proportions are variable, but around 7-8% of males (and 0.04% of females - X-linked genes are like that), in most countries, are red-green colourblind - who would use red and green for marking distinction?

Would Red and blue help? My bff's husband is colourblind, I think it's red-green colourblind, which pisses him off seriously when he can't tell if his phone is charging or not. he can't tell the difference between red or yellow-green lights.
