The IT guy at my office pushed a "red means good" dashboard on us for a week
Last Tuesday our internal tool got a full color overhaul and nobody checked it with the colorblind folks on the team, including me. The status dots went green for on time and red for late, which is the one combo I truly cannot tell apart, and I spent two days emailing my boss about fires that turned out to be fine. The kicker was a printed status sheet where "on track" and "overdue" came out as the same muddy gray, so I flagged 11 projects as late when only 3 were. We fixed it with shape icons (check, triangle, circle) plus labels, and now the dashboard actually reads. How do you all push back when a vendor insists their color palette is "already accessible"?
