How Accessibility Standards Can Empower Better Chart Visual Design
Accessibility for data visualization extends well beyond web standards, at least if you're trying to create an experience that's actually useful.

During their discussions with designers across the industry, two specific requirements have repeatedly come up: accessible chart colors and dual encodings or using something other than color to convey meaning. This article focuses on WCAG 2.1 standards, and it covers many techniques for embracing accessibility standards to empower better, more accessible visual design.

Even something like "blue" is uncertain. to be more precise, it could be "sky blue", "ocean blue", "jeans blue" or even "arc welder blue".
