Copied template to other Continuation War maps

Hey @Frans Fowler: I saw you had left a deuteranomaly template at File:Continuation War July 1941 English.jpg. I hope you don't mind that I copied your template to two similar maps in the article, namely File:Continuation War 1942 and Soviet assaults English.jpg and File:Continuation_War_September_1944_English.jpg. I think it's an important issue and helps to counteract the problem (I might be inclined to amend the maps in the foreseeable future). Manelolo (talk) 12:12, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Manelolo: I have also added a deuteranomaly template at File:Caucasic languages.svg --Frans Fowler (talk) 06:30, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Colorblind friendly red and green?

Is there such a thing? You've tagged File:States recognising the Armenian Genocide.svg, where the red and green color scheme makes it really clear to the non-colorblind person what they are seeing without even looking at the legend. Buidhe (talk) 06:15, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Buidhe. What is the non-colorblind person seeing so clearly, and why, in your view, is a red-and-green colour scheme in particular helpful to convey that information? For example, could hatching and cross-hatching, or distinct greys, convey the information just as well? Frans Fowler (talk) 11:02, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am thinking that, at least in Western countries, "red" means "no" and "green" means "yes", thus when the map is about Recognition of the Armenian genocide the viewer can easily translate that into yes—recognizes, no-doesn't recognize, and gray–no official stance. I don't see how you can get the same effect with cross hatching or different shades of gray. Buidhe (talk) 00:42, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
