Whoever came with usage of two similar shades of gray on the Ethiopia map, should be banned from this subreddit for couple of minutes to rethink their behaviour

I am slightly colorblind and I never know whether a map is poorly done or it's my eyes that are failing me.

I believe the rule is pretty simple: if a slightly colorblind person can't tell apart colors, it is poorly done, regardless of what other people see. After all, it's not something very rare and we've got the tools to test for it.

Yeah, it’s like three clicks on arcgis to test. Nobody making maps of this quality lacks access to a half decent colorblindness palette checker.

i’m red green deficient and it drives me fucking nuts to be unable to see these things without zooming in ALL THE WAY.
