There is a really nice web site that shows how colors are perceived by various color-blind readers. One of the journals I recently published in recommends it for consideration. If you are interested, have a look. The web site is made especially for people who publish scientific articles with color illustrations. It is not hard to be considerate.

I am using pymol and was not sure if I have to use a specific color for calcium or magnesium ions for publication figures. Thanks, Sujata
