I need at least three colours that are easy to tell apart. The obvious choices seem to be some form red, green and blue. But I want what I'm making to be colour-blind friendly. I've looked for colour-blind friendly palettes and I found this chart, (worryingly, the URL in the corner doesn't seem to go anywhere any more.)



I picked these three colours from it which seemed to be the best balance of contrastive under all three types of colour-blindness, and aesthetically pleasing under normal vision:



Specifically the red is #de2d26 , the green is #c3e14b and the blue is #08519c .

I find those colours ... okay. I'm not the biggest fan of the green, for example.

I also found that chart somewhat hard to use, since I had to compare all the options manually.

So my question is, is there a standard set of colours that are all mutually contrastive (any pair of them can be told apart by all types of colour-blind people,) and which is also reasonably attractive under normal vision?
