There are so many ways to address this issue. Perhaps the simplest would be to use a combination of dimming and thick, solid borders vs. dashed borders to distinguish the two states of the icons. Cheers! MM

Better still, I can let you see them though my eyes. Here's what the icons look like to me, and a link to Vizcheck, the tool I used to generate them:

Running this in various modes you should be able to pick colours which work for everyone, not just for me.

Yep, its green-blue vs grey... Bad choice I guess? Perhaps you can provide a set of examples that work for you?

Good idea.

But the icons for published/unpublished, protein present/protein absent,
nucleotide present/nucleotide absent and ligand present/ligand absent
look identical to me - I have to read the alt text.

Is there some colour thing going on here which is invisible to protanopes?
