I am not colorblind, but work with data visualization in Matlab a lot. This hilarious SciPy2015 talk[1] convinced me to switch to the Parula color scheme. There's no way I'm going back to Jet.

Shouldn't it have convinced you to switch to Viridis instead?

Yes, Viridis is quantifiably better than Parula, as the talk shows, but Parula comes with the standard Matlab, and the jump from Jet to Parula was of such a tremendous magnitude that I kind of fell in love with the Parula color scheme right away. Jump from Parula to Viridis would be less noticeable, I guess. The talk opened my eyes to the fact that there are much better ways to use color for information presentation.

This talk was awesome. Best explanation i've ever heard for why color spaces have the odd shape they do. The 3d models of perceivable color spaces for different colorblindnesses was also really insightful.
