Abstract
Using colour in figures: let's agree to differ.
Highlights
A picture can paint a thousand words, and cell biologists rely on pictorial representations
A minority of people do not have the full range of colour vision, and this minority are too often excluded by ill-conceived use of colour
An individual with the full range of colour vision can accurately discriminate an entire spectrum of colour hues along the green–red axis better than along any other colour axis
Summary
A picture can paint a thousand words, and cell biologists rely on pictorial representations. This article suggests ways to maximize the accessibility of colour images to the minority and shows that many images in the field of membrane traffic cannot be viewed optimally by all, no matter what way they are treated. How can the majority apply colour to their data without excluding the minority?
