Colour"Blind": A Collection of Colour Blind Friendly Colour Tables

A collection of colour blind friendly colour tables for both discrete and continuous data, provided for use with the Interactive Data Language (IDL).

This repository was inspired after many people approached me to judge the colour blind friendliness of their plots. The final aim of this repository is to collate colours tables from many sources (see "code descriptions and their origins") and provide them in an easy-to-use format.

If you wish to acknowledge use of this repository, I recommend text such as the following:

Some/all of the figures within this paper were produced using IDL colour blind friendly colour tables \citep[see][]{pjwright}.

This research made use of IDL colour blind friendly colour tables \citep[see][]{pjwright}.
