Colorblind-friendly heatmap palette that relies on a green-to-red spectrum, which typically implies intensity or activity. For the red/green colorblind, these hues are particularly difficult to distinguish between. Most colorblind-friendly solutions rely on a different set of hues altogether (usually yellows and purples) to solve this problem, but this palette maintains the red/green symbolism while achieving deuteranopic legibility by varying the perceived brightness of the hues.
