CTAN update: colorblind
In colorblind-safe documents, the contents are presented in a way that the same information is conveyed to readers regardless of a potential color vision deficiency. This package provides the tools necessary for colorblind-safe typesetting in LaTeX. The most notable change in this release is that colorblind now redefines the standard colors like `red`, `green`, `blue`, etc. by default. This can be turned off using the option `keep-defaults`. Apart from this, the documentation got a major overhaul, and there were some minor bugfixes since the last release.

colorblind – Easy colorblind-safe typesetting
In colorblind-safe documents, the contents are presented in a way that the same information is conveyed to readers regardless of a potential color vision deficiency. This package provides the tools necessary for colorblind-safe typesetting in LaTeX. It provides color schemes for a wide range of applications.
The most commonly used schemes are qualitative schemes, providing easily distinguishable colors for use in graphics, but also for text coloring or highlighting. Additionally, diverging and sequential schemes are included which can be used for encoding quantitative information using colors. This package incorporates colorblind-safeness into the writing process, making it both less cumbersome and less error-prone.
