Treffer: A visionary approach: How an Argonne team developed accessible maps for colorblind scientists.

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have developed color maps that are accessible for scientists with color vision deficiency (CVD). These color maps are used to convey important information about clouds and precipitation in weather radar forecasts. The researchers created CVD-friendly color maps using Python programming language tools and tested them with the CVD community, who found them to be more interpretable than the default color maps currently used. The new color maps are now available in a GitHub repository and aim to provide equitable scientific visualization and inclusivity for all users. [Extracted from the article]
