    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.
