The dark blue and the dark green can be confused! So similar! Please change colors on the extremes. --Maximo88 (talk) 23:41, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- I agree! I cannot see any difference on my device's display (tablet). Please change the poles of the scale to be better distinguishable from each other. And by he way: The red/green scale was much better and much more self-explanatory. Also, the article itself uses the red/ green scheme, so it would be good to stick to it. --176.92.200.215 23:59, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- The map has gone away from Red/Green primarily because of colour blind users. I agree the current map has issues. Please direct any concerns to the talk page of the Wikipedia article (w:Talk:United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, 2016#Suggestion for results colours) as they are more likely to be seen there. Thanks.--Nilfanion (talk) 00:19, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has red/green as a standard for yes/no, many wikitables include this as an automated function. We need to stick to this convention. --176.92.200.215 01:27, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- The outcome of the discussion on the main article is pure bollocks and of no concern for other articles or elements. --176.92.200.215 01:27, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

- Agree. It's great that the map is trying to show a gradation between the two poles, but strong "Remain" and strong "Leave" shouldn't look the same! It's no use to trade something inaccessible to colorblind people from something inaccessible for everyone! There are other ways of producing gradients that colorblind people can read (remember the red-purple-blue maps?). GeoEvan (talk) 00:57, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- The strong colours would still be there on the red/green map unfortunately - I raised this issue several hours ago and it hasn't been avoided.--Nilfanion (talk) 01:11, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- I don't see why 100% red (RGB 255:0:0) and 100% green (RGB 0:255:0) as poles of the scale should be a problem. --176.92.200.215 01:27, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, but which of the options is red and which is green? Hellerick (talk) 04:17, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

The dark blue looks fine to me, bu the darkest green should be lightened by a few shades - it currently looks black, not green. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 05:33, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- There isn't an extreme leave vote in any region, so the darkest blue shades haven't been used. The colours on this map are extremely problematic still, despite the intentions they are not colour blind safe and the extreme dark colours are just unreadable. Plus I don't see why its green/blue when the intention was clearly for yellow/blue.--Nilfanion (talk) 07:46, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
Can you do this in Red (Leave) and Blue (Remain), rather than Yellow (Remain) and Blue (Leave). The colours used by the campaigns were red for leave, and blue for remain, so using blue for leave is extremely confusing. 80.5.30.32 13:27, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
