In a glowforge sort order, it’s: Black #000000

I found an excellent article by Martin Krzywinski ( Color Palettes for Color Blindness) that led me to a seven-color palette (eight if you include white) developed by Bang Wong. I’d heard that to create a palette that’s distinguishable by more than about 85% of the population, you’re limited to under ten colors or so.

That process got me thinking about colorblindness. (It’s actually 22 colors if you include black and white.) I suspect I could have arrived at a similar palette by winnowing down palette to eliminate some of the confusing pairs, but so be it. After some searching, I came across Sasha Trubetskoy’s List of 20 Simple, Distinct Colors that was designed to be “easily distinguishable” and “tastefully luminant.” Re-sorted into “Glowforge order,” the palette is: Black #000000 Since I received my Glowforge a few months ago, I’ve been happily making use of the color palette in this thread’s first message (thanks I’ve always felt some of the colors are a little too similar, though, so I set out to find a better one.
