In answer to your question, yes, I'm having trouble distinguishing between 6, 8, and 10; 12 and 13; 20 and 22. If those colours were together I would have real difficulty distinguishing between them, especially if lighting isn't optimal.
FWIW, I have a reasonably severe colour blindness and can't easily distinguish between colours in the following groups on that chart: 2/30; 3/4/5/6; 7/9; 8/10/12/13; 16/18; 20/22; 21/24/26. Despite that, I didn't have any trouble at all following what was happening on the night - though, in fairness, I generally use Jeremy Vine's irritating over-done graphic-fests as opportunities to make cups of tea for reasons utterly unrelated to visual impairment.
This story is out of date anyway. They are talking about election coverage that is almost 16 months old and this year a lot of these things were rectified - the SNP are now black on yellow rather than white on yellow and the number of oranges and greens used for parties was reduced and variations in colour were more significant.
In most places in the election coverage the colours appeared alongside abbreviations like 'CON', 'LAB', 'LD' etc. so that it was clear what was meant. The only places where colours were used on their own was the Vine segments and the Raworth map which were a minority of the coverage and were fairly pointless anyway. Astons and the Maitlis touchscreen always included both colour and abbreviation, while the white on yellow for the SNP was clearly an issue it was rectified for the 2016 coverage. For anyone wishing to test, I've placed the BBC Election colours (2016) in hue order...
... are there any any colour blind people are having trouble reading/distinguishing?
Anyway 'fiasco' does seem a bit Mail with regards to the BBC. I wonder if the guardian are still engaging in their little spat over charter renewal.
