Any update on when/if we can get higher-contrast coloring on these? I love the accuracy of the previous ones, but the pastel color scheme is hard for some.

Is this helpful? Just using the Photoshop color-replace tool, so not perfect…

Thanks. Much better. Couldn't tell the 4-8 and 8-12 bands with the original.

I see this with TV weather maps. They all need to make it more clear especially when one is looking at the boundary areas.

This has been a challenge, especially given I was using a more detailed color wheel and attempted to hop between shades at a decent clip to help color blind folks. My only hiccup with using WMUR's color table is I don't want to be associated in *any way* with their products, otherwise I'd be working for them. I may implement a similar shade scheme like theirs, but modify it heavily.

Thank you we appreciate it. The 4-8 and the 8-12 still look identical to me.

No clue if it’d be a good idea considering the size of the map, but could you add pattern to the color bands as a secondary identifier? Is common in board/card games as an adaptive measure for increased accessibility

Looks good - I say leave it as-is

Some people have colorblindness that makes reading the map difficult to discern.
