      This is how I see the map. Didn’t notice CO was green until a comment mentioned it.

        That’s cause red and green both look like puke green to people with the most common type of colorblindness.

      I first got this realization when I started using grey scale mode for my phone at night. A “good to bad” scale in an app became unintelligible. Since then I try to consider colorblindness if I design stuff myself. It’s fantastic if color scales carry meaning in both their colour but also the same meaning in their lightness, so everyone can understand them the same.

    The green is almost exactly the same in value as the red.

      If it helps, Washington D.C. and Colorado are the only “green” ones.

      I don’t see anything represented by the “<20%”, “45%-50%” or “50%+” colors. Not sure why they’re even included.

        Thanks, I could kind of tell CO by comparing to those around it, but that’s not an option the way DC is presented.

    The first 2 on the legend look darker than the following 3 .

    I agree with the previous commenter. Colour coded maps are useless for about 25% of the population.

    The green doesn’t follow that.

  Don’t worry, this particular map is just as useless for everyone.

  There is an ISO somewhere that sets out color blind colors for accessibility.
