Colors of maximum contrast with white and black¶
The 22 colors depicted in Figure: Colors of maximum contrast with white and black are called Kelly’s colors.

The first nine colors (white, black, yellow, purple, orange, light blue, red, buff, grey) are selected to be discriminating even for people with color vision deficiency.
