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. This release adds a warning when one of the standard colors is used that the package redefines to black. Additionally, CMYK definitions for all colors are provided and are used depending on the color model. These additional definitions are only added because they are necessary in some edge-cases and should not be needed by normal users, regardless if they create documents for displays or print.

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.
