Select Your Corrections
Choose the best practice to apply for each design issue:
1. Color Palette Selection:
Keep red/green (familiar traffic light metaphor)
Use colorblind-accessible palette (blue/orange/purple)
Convert to grayscale only
2. Additional Visual Encoding:
Color is sufficient (no additional encoding needed)
Add distinct shapes to each condition (circle, square, triangle)
Add fill patterns to data points
3. Legend Enhancement:
Keep minimal legend with color only
Add sample sizes and units to legend
Use direct labels near data instead of legend
