Introduction
Certain colors are indistinguishable to people with the various forms of color blindness, and therefore are better not used in figures intended for public viewing.
This script generates a palette of named colors for PyMOL that are unambiguous both to colorblind and non-colorblind individuals.
The colors listed here are defined according to recommendations found at J*FLY. This website is a good reference to consult when making all kinds of figures, not just those made using PyMOL.
Colors
The 0-255 RGB values from the J*FLY page have been used and converted to decimal notation (e.g. 230/255 = 0.902).
| name | R | G | B | alternate names | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cb_black | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | ||
| cb_orange | 0.902 | 0.624 | 0.0 | ||
| cb_sky_blue | 0.337 | 0.706 | 0.914 | cb_skyblue, cb_light_blue, cb_lightblue | |
| cb_bluish_green | 0.0 | 0.62 | 0.451 | cb_bluishgreen, cb_green | |
| cb_yellow | 0.941 | 0.894 | 0.259 | ||
| cb_blue | 0.0 | 0.447 | 0.698 | ||
| cb_vermillion | 0.835 | 0.369 | 0.0 | cb_red, cb_red_orange, cb_redorange | |
| cb_reddish_purple | 0.8 | 0.475 | 0.655 | cb_reddishpurple, cb_rose, cb_violet, cb_magenta |
Usage
Use these color names just like any other named color, using the color command:
import colorblindfriendly
color cb_skyblue, all
