Both are solid pieces of advice 😂 you're doing a great job @parmvir.com!!

Hmm the experiment tip is a good one! I wonder how that could translate to in silico settings 🤔 thanks!!

Glad to know I'm not alone! Do you have a specific checklist / method you follow in doing reviews?

5. I also often start with the color schemes listed here: personal.sron.nl/~pault/.

Note: of course this is not an extensive list, just five resources I've found useful! Please let me know if you have any other recommendations!

4. Color palette / gradient generator: coolors.co
Nice feature: you can "lock" colors in a palette, and randomly generate others. Includes color blind simulator.

3. New to me tool: www.learnui.design/tools/access... This page suggests alternative colors that may be more accessible. Give it two hex codes & it'll generate a color similar to the first that contrasts well against the second.

2. My personal favourite: projects.susielu.com/viz-palette Give viz palette a list of hex codes and it'll generate different graphs (box plots, line graphs, scatter plots etc) using the colors. Includes a color blind simulator w greyscale. Reports difficult to distinguish colors.

Sorry for the delay! Here are some tools I use to select / generate color palettes when creating figures (in no particular order).

1. The classic: Colorbrewer2.org. Generates color schemes for sequential, diverging or qualitative data, with colorblind friendly options too.

Its so important! There are so many great tools for visualizing & selecting color schemes, including generating color blind friendly palettes! Happy to share my list!

Ah, fantastic! Thank you!!
