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 — Redundant Encoding

Redundant Encoding 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.
