{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Color blind-friendly default color cycle","articleBody":"The default `tab10` qualitative colormap is not color blind friendly, at least with my form of color blindness; I have difficulty telling the second and third colors apart. It would be nice to have a new default qualitative colormap that is color blind friendly, since it's the most commonly used. As Matplotlib 2 is finding increased adoption, I'm often coming across plots that I have difficulty reading due to the default colormap.\r\n\r\nI find the perceptually uniform sequential colormaps quite nice, since I can actually read them. It's unfortunate that the same isn't true of the qualitative colormaps. The [new Tableau 10 colormap](https://www.tableau.com/about/blog/2016/7/colors-upgrade-tableau-10-56782) is much better in this regard, but I'm guessing that there are intellectual property concerns that would bar including it.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/mpetroff","@type":"Person","name":"mpetroff"},"datePublished":"2017-10-17T17:17:32.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":46},"url":"https://github.com/9460/matplotlib/issues/9460"}
