This image relies on colours to convey information. However, the colours used make it difficult or even impossible for people with colour blindness (at least deuteranomaly and maybe others) to read the information. Please consider changing the colours to meet the needs of a wider audience.

A more precise description of the problem: The lighter shades of red are almost impossible to notice and impossible to tell apart.
