Methodology
The survey begins with four colour-vision screening plates and one unrecorded practice question. It then presents 29 measured figure questions covering the design comparisons shown below.
Degradation crossing — Categorical Palette Robustness
Categorical Palette Robustness tested at both levels, under both normal and greyscale rendering. The normal and greyscale cells in the same row share identical underlying data -- only the colour transform differs -- so any difference between them is the degradation, not a data change.

Scattered categorical point cloud: 14 samples split 8/4/2 across three categories. Categorical Palette Robustness = baseline (Arbitrary, CVD-confusable hues). |

| level: treatment |
