This is an update (version 1.2), not a new package, but given recent postings on the R lists an announcement may be helpful. The 'dichromat' package has color schemes designed for people with red-green deficient or anomalous vision, tools for simulating the effect of color blindness, and tools for creating color ramps and palettes (these last will be in R 2.1.0). I would welcome feedback on the accuracy of the simulations of color blindness from people who are actually affected. They are based on published algorithms and methods, but color matching is always tricky. -thomas Thomas Lumley Assoc.
