Commons:Creating accessible illustrations
From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
This page gives advice to people who create illustrations (maps, graphs, diagrams, etc) about how to design them in such a way to be accessible to people who may not have perfect vision.
[edit] Tips
- Use redundant coding. This means don't use colour as the only way of distinguishing between items. Also use patterns or hatchings or different shapes.
- Use colours that contrast in hue as well as brightness.

- Check if existing Commons image pages are color-blind-friendly
- Colorblind colorlab - choose a colour palette, and then see it through a filter as a colorblind person would
