The palette is the basis for a system that is designed to collect data from other palettes and the results of experimental work in order to expand its scope. In this way, you can choose the colours for the original palette, which, containing green and red, will still be recognizable to people with deuteranopia. This allows us to expand the accessibility of public spaces, make it safer for people with a range of colour blindness, and provide a basis for public safety regulations. This design is a data aggregation methodology and is intended to expand the possibilities of inclusive design, rather than limit them.
