A long time ago, I had a request to make a color guide for the standard color swatches in HeroMachine 2 for someone who was color blind.

Eric, I feel your pain. Trying to come up with descriptive names for colors that vary by only very small tonal differences was a bear. I didn’t want to go with something like “coral” or “beachcomber” that wouldn’t really tell a color-blind person what sort of color they were looking at, but I did unfortunately end up with some tongue-twisters like “dark purple peach pink”.
