Simon Pfahler submitted an update to the

colorblind

package.

Version number: 1.2 2026-01-06
License type: lppl1.3c

Summary description: Easy colorblind-safe typesetting

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------


In colorblind-safe documents, the contents are presented in a way that the same
information is conveyed to readers regardless of a potential color vision deficiency. This package provides the tools necessary for colorblind-safe typesetting in LaTeX.


This release adds a warning when one of the standard colors is used that the package redefines to black.
Additionally, CMYK definitions for all colors are provided and are used depending on the color model. These additional definitions are only added because they are necessary in some edge-cases and should not be needed by normal
users, regardless if they create documents for displays or print.

In colorblind-safe documents, the contents are presented in a way
that the same information is conveyed to readers regardless of a
potential color vision deficiency. This package provides the
tools necessary for colorblind-safe typesetting in LaTeX.

This release fixes a bug introduced in v1.2 that broke the
`\color` command when using the optional argument.
Additionally, the documentation was updated slightly.
