On the ArcGIS Blog, a guide by Stephanie Oliver to designing maps that are more accessible to readers with colour blindness. (This is very specifically an ArcGIS Pro guide, down to the palette menus.)

MIT grad student Ari Ofsevit created an infographic showing the colours used to mark transit lines by a number of different North American transit agencies and posted it to Twitter last month, where he got all kinds of feedback. (One response pointed out that the colour choices aren’t great for red-green colour blindness.) Ofsevit, who also makes hiking trail maps in the style of transit maps, is running a Kickstarter to create a poster of the transit palette. [Next City]
