Colorblind friendly about compat-table HOT 9 CLOSED

A better solution would be to assume everyone has full colourblindness and use some other easily spotted indicator. I recommend crosshatching in the No cells.

I don't mind of course, as long as it would still be comfortable for color-capable folks. Which red/green colors would work for you?

I slightly modified the colors: http://skalman.github.io/es5-compat-table/

To me it looks like that should be enough: http://colorfilter.wickline.org/?a=1;r=;l=9;j=1;i=1;n=1;u=skalman.github.io/es5-compat-table;t=m

@Skalman looks good to me! @hyperhtml @michaelficarra what do you guys think?

@kangax: I think this does the job.

Nice choice @Skalman

@hyperhtml Cool. In that case, @Skalman feel free to send PR.

Accommodating color-blind folks is definitely important, but I think the current color scheme impedes the usability of the document. It's a well-documented fact that really bright complementary colors, like red and green*, are not nice to look at when next to one another. Though this might just apply to any two super-bright colors placed next to one another.

More muted colors, like .no { rgb(185, 89, 89); } and .yes { color: rgb(95, 148, 95); } put less strain on the retinas, I think, and could make this document nicer on users. But I'm unsure how easy they are to distinguish when color blind.

*So they're not quite complementary in the RGB model, but they're close enough.

Those colors make the table much more dull and seem to make the table lighter, which worsens the contrast with the text (mainly the references like [1]). If we were to make the colors more desaturated I would also prefer to have a slightly darker tone.

If there is an interest in trying this, I can easily make the change.

I'm open to ideas. As long as everyone is satisfied.
