Please don’t use green/red schemes, it’s the most common form of colorblindness and it’s especially bad with such pale shades.

On the topic of accessibility, the contrast of the text in the "up to date" bubbles is very low. I can barely see the yellow one, let alone read it without significant eye strain.

Firefox's dev tools have an Accessibility tab where you can see warnings about low contrast and simulate different forms of color blindness.

This website, while cool data, is just awful for me who is very red/green colorblind. Unusable.

		Sorry about that! I've fixed the colors and contrast now.

It has text supporting the color, so it's fine.

		Some of the text is undereadable on the background.

Red/green is the most common way to show bad/good, error/success, etc.

Using any other color scheme would just confuse everyone instead of only colorblind people... how would that be any better?

White with black text for success and black with white text for failure. People would figure it out.

So as I said instead of confusing a minority of people, we confuse everyone instead?

		There are always creative ways to present data. Dismissing the needs of a minority of people just because we don't share their visual impairment is lazy, and we can do better.
