data("col3x2")

Details

3x2 color scheme. These colors look like a 3x2 color array when run through the vischeck simulator to see how they look for the three most common color vision deficiencies: Deuteranope, Protanope, Tritanope.

References

About 10% of the population have color deficient vision. Your job is make your graphs legible to everyone. Download ImageJ from http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/ and VischeckJ from http://vischeck.com and follow the instructions in those sites. This program will allow you to simulate color deficient vision on your computer.

On my Mac, I need to doubleclick ij.jar to open the program. Then open the "Vischeck Panel" on the Plugins menu and navigate to a png file with the "File Open" menu. Click on each of the three types of color deficiency.
