Usage

pal.safe(pal, n = 100, main = NULL)

pal

A palette function or a vector of colors.

n

The number of colors to display for palette functions.

Details

Rates of colorblindness in women are low, but in men the rates are around 3 to 7 percent, depending on the race.

What to look for:

1. Are colors still unique when viewed in less-than full color?

2. Is a sequential colormap still sequential?
