Nice. Is muddy Red/Green the best choice of dot colours for a colour blind person? I'm not colour blind myself, so I can't tell, but I know people that are, and small areas of low saturation red/green are exactly the things that cause trouble for them. (Line graphs with red and green lines against a light background are also another classic.)

I couldn't tell that the dots were colored differently at all.

Heh, thanks. I am red/green blind and didn't realize the dots were color-coded. I also would not have been able to tell you the color of any dot -- though I still can't, but now I have a 50% chance :)
