I don't begrudge other people their pretty colors (I like pretty colors, or at least colors my eyes find pretty which might cause others to recoil in horror) but anything color coded needs more than just the color. Having a different background color for selected timeline entries generally isn't a problem as long as the text on top is sufficiently contrasting. I might not be able to tell by color which other entries are part of the same branch, but I can follow the entry left to the node and follow the graph line up or down or wherever it might lead. Changing the graph line to the same color as the background color of the branch actually loses data I find invaluable (namely, the contrasting line that would be used in the graph to compensate for the inability to differentiate background colors). The additional problem with color vision deficiency is that even if we found a set of colors that I could always differentiate and always rely on, who knows if other color deficient people would see it the same way I do. -- Scott Robison
