Living Atlas layer color blind safe

[MichaelCamponovo1]

Any chance someone at ESRI could update the green shades in the 2016 - 2021 USA Population Growth Living Atlas Layer to something color blind safe? We tried to use this in a high school lesson this week and one student was unable to distinguish between the different green shades.

Thanks - MC

Michael,

I'm sorry you ran into this issue. There are multiple considerations that go into the color choices of our maps and layers, color-blindness being one of them. With that being said, there are different types of color-blindness and unfortunately we can't account for all of them. I reported your feedback to the appropriate team and they will look into improving the colors for future updates.

Thank you,

Tamara
