Text reads 'Avoiding Red-Blind LUTs: High frequency of Protanopia among general population" On the left a figure using a Red/Grey LUTs as it appears for people with normal vision. On the right a figure as seen by people with Protanopia.

Want to make your images/videos more inclusive? Avoid Red-Blind LUTs! 🫷 While single-color red images are accessible, multi-color LUTs with red can be confusing for a small proportion of the population with Protanopia. I'll give a quick example from a paper I covered in journal club. 1/2

Things I currently think you should be considering in your proposals. Although this thread will be NIH-centric, my guess is that some of this applies to NSF, etc. Much is synthesized from public information. Much of this is what we've advised all along, just with, um, more emphasis.
