Speaking on behalf of the colorblind (10% of all men), and particularly for those that have my type of colorblindness (red /green), it is virtually impossible for me to distinguish the difference in several of the various colors (map legend) used in your map. Using the map as intended is really impossible. There are color blind friendly color pallets that can be easily found on-line. This website "https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator " claims it allows you to see what I (a color blind person) sees. Super easy to use if you use the Snip and Sketch tool that comes with Microsoft operating systems. Just copy and paste any image from your map into the screen. Also, please consider the shade of each color that is to be used, going from darkest for the highest scores, to lightest for the lowest scores. This works especially well for all colorblind persons who are more dependent on shades than colors, but I would assume it would make the map far more user friendly for everyone. Thank-you for your consideration.
