I visit family in other states and I get comments like “I can’t believe you are so thin.” For context I am a healthy weight and I eat what I consider a reasonable diet. I sit and smile while I watch them drink soda and eat pure sugar and salt. I don’t care about your life choices but don’t act surprised by someone that’s a normal weight.

      Simulated red/green colorblind (the most common one). Dark = bad sorta works but not all the way.

        I first got this realization when I started using grey scale mode for my phone at night. A “good to bad” scale in an app became unintelligible. Since then I try to consider colorblindness if I design stuff myself. It’s fantastic if color scales carry meaning in both their colour but also the same meaning in their lightness, so everyone can understand them the same.

        This is how I see the map. Didn’t notice CO was green until a comment mentioned it.

        If it helps, Washington D.C. and Colorado are the only “green” ones.

        I don’t see anything represented by the “<20%”, “45%-50%” or “50%+” colors. Not sure why they’re even included.

          Thanks, I could kind of tell CO by comparing to those around it, but that’s not an option the way DC is presented.

      The first 2 on the legend look darker than the following 3 .

      I agree with the zombiepirate. Colour coded maps are useless for about 25% of the population.
