+# Color Blind Palettes
+
+A small tool to render an HTML overview of color-blind-friendly palettes (for plots, etc.).
+
+See https://kingdread.de/palettes.html for a rendered version.
+
+I did not come up with those palettes, I just wanted a nicer way to use them (than to manually copy them from PDF style guides).
+
+## Usage
+
+To generate the `palettes.html`:
+
+```
+poetry install
+poetry run cbp palettes.toml
+```
+
