The red has been revised for beta2 (it's the only color I had an alternate for -- two alternates actually, one of which was further tested and will be the final color). The old red was L value 45 and was the only accent color that dark. Red is very challenging in general (particularly given the contraints I set in order to toggle light and dark) and I have truly spent *days* testing reds for this scheme. No kidding. I dreamt Lab and hex values. The new red is L 50 which translates to sRGB space as a much less saturated value. > I tested it with Sim Daltonism: > http://michelf.com/projects/sim-daltonism/ > It does pretty well (except for Protanopia). I'll take a look at that tool as well. For what it's worth, I did do some testing (loaded the scheme into colorschemer and simulated color blindness) as well during the development of Solarized. What I finally came back to was ensuring that L*a*b lightness was accurate and consistent. My assumption was that L lightness would translate to an equivalent L lightness (regardless of *a*b perceived value) in most color blindness, but this may not be an accurate assumption. This would at least retain readability. I try to limit colors to "value added" accents only. Feedback from those interested in this issue specifically is welcome. I'm sure I could do some more work in this area. Best, Ethan Schoonover e...@ethanschoonover.com
