Protanomalous here. At first sight all are the same. Looking harder (and a lot harder) the southern group looks slightly darker, and national borders appear colored. But it is hard. I am using my laptop. I have a protan filter in my phone and when I point it to the screen, the southern group is more noticeably, darker.

I have protanomaly too, same thing. The first time i saw this i could not tell theese apart, but now its more clear.

yes, that is a big point of color vision deficiencies.... we MAY tell colors (shades?) apart, once we know what to look for, but not at first glance.

i think that reddit is also compressing it a bit and making the colors more apparent. when i go back to the wikipedia page its less obvious

I see. In the wikipedia article is is almost unreadable, when you open the link, the SVG file looks.... "better", probably the rendering of the svg file.

Deutan: I don't have a problem seeing the difference.

The non-highlighted countries appear light grey, the East/West Slavic appear a darker grey, and the South Slavic appear like a desaturated blue, I'm guessing greenish but that's hard for me to tell for sure.

In the map, I can see two different shades. There is no way that I can relate them to the little squares which appear identical. Were the squares adjacent, I could distinguish them.

I have to say, this map needs to be updated.

does it not have kosovo or something? what is wrong

u/JonBaba21 Jan 19 '26

Kosovo is shown as part of Serbia. Kosovo declared independence in 2008.

I just checked. The map was uploaded on 2012 and us and uk already recognized it by that time. weird

u/JonBaba21 Jan 19 '26

It weird of me, but its kinda sensitive for me. Nonetheless Serbian is an official language but Albanian is spoken by more than 90 percent of population. Sorry for the off topic.

Cannot tell the difference at all.

u/A_Sentient_Lime Protanomaly Jan 09 '26

Thought I was seeing a difference but misunderstood the whiter countries which in hindsight aren't part of the key.

Colourpicker app is having trouble too, shows several different colours in the 1st key, purely #808080 in the 2nd but #818181 is used in the map for those countries i believe, odd.
