Very useful guide. Colour is such an integral part of good UX.

Indeed. Kudos to the author for stressing the point that there are colour blind (well, chromatically challenged) people out there.

If I'd had a dime every time I stared blankly at a data visualisation where accessibility hadn't been a consideration, I'd be sipping margaritas on my own private beach by now...

I have so many to-dos, compress pictures, add javascript to add features, and now color...

Oh, and the actual product, that too.

To me color knowledge is akin to other cultural backgrounds one (who works in any slightly artistic environment such as UI/UX) must have a priori, not a posteriori of the work. It doesn't add up to your TODO list, that's what I am saying.

PS: image optimization should be done automatically IMHO
