French voters returned to the polls on Sunday, July 7, to elect a new Assemblée Nationale and determine who will be in a position to govern France. See how many seats each party won and the district-by-district map.
The color choices are infuriating. How has nobody noticed that multiple sets of colors look near-identical, to the point you’re not even sure they’re a different color (they are)?
Clearly there are just 4 colors on the map, maybe you’re color blind.
<Checks legend> Maybe I’m color blind too?
For real tho, these are the worst color choices the website could have picked. My only assumption is that these are the party colors, made back in the day when only 1 color existed.
Purple and light purple are “NFP (left)” and “not NFP (left)”. Socialists are traditionally red.
The two blues are “LR (right)” and “not LR (right)”. Liberals are traditionally blue.
Yellow are center-right neolibs.
The independent left/right seats don’t matter much because they will vote predictably with their political side on most issues, so since this will be a coalition Parliament there is not much point in outlining individual party affiliation (anyways the NFP is already a coalition of several parties).
I see dark magenta, pink, orange, and blue. Looks pretty distinct to me, though I saw some sites had a option to change the color to avoid issues for colorblind people.

It makes some sense contextually.

Look at the key, there are two different blues and two different oranges.
Enable color blind mode, it’s way easier to read
