A very good summary from Wendy, proving it was easy to summarize all along. I am beavering away on a brief for the Working Group f2f next week that will put all this together. Since Wendy has quoted it, though, I can certain recommend the Brewer Palette as a set of colours that nearly everyone can distinguish and whose names nearly everyone agrees on. I'll be advancing the Brewer Palette as an option for designers who don't want to worry about things and just want to pick a set of colours that is known to work. > "If, however, you wish to maximally avoid colour confusions, you have a > range of colour choices at your disposal. --i.e., the Brewer Palette, named after Cindy Brewer. <http://joeclark.org/book/sashay/serialization/Chapter09.html#h2-1515> Also, let's not forget the utility of user stylesheets, though it seems no one on the CSS Working Group ever imagined that people would want to remap colours according to a formula rather than to a specific named colour. Failing that, authors can provide a stylesheet-switcher, which are proven to be so easy that individual blog authors have them.
