I thought it was my color blindness that made me not able to distinguish between the red and green pixels as described (i only see red and black ones), but even with a browser extension that counters color blindness i can't distinguish more colors. Is this just me, or is the graph weird?


Fwiw (not color-blind) I can see red, green and black pixels. The graph doesn't look weird to the naked eye.

Find the interactive visualiser by scrolling down, and switch it to "Files in Anna's Archive [md5]". This will highlight the location of the green pixels in grey.


If you have red-green blindness like me try this:

- Right-click the image and select "Inspect".

- Add a new CSS hue-rotate filter to the element:

    element {
       max-width: 100%;
       margin: 0 auto;
       filter: hue-rotate(-90deg);
    }
Usually I use "filter: saturate(100);", but that didn't really work well for this image. You might have to adjust the rotation degree though, -90 worked best for me.


The graph seems to be alright, there are indeed red and (some) green pixels, looks like an issue with your extension unfortunately.


I am also color blind and the graph is not good.


I see green dots and a few lines of green dots. Did you try zooming in?


I see red, green, and a bit of yellow. I assume the yellow is what happens when the red and green pixels come too close to each other.


No idea of were the issue might land, but I can see the difference in colors.


The graphs are very easy to read, albeit depend on your ability to distinguish between red and green.

Can you change the green channel to blue to better view it?
