Colorblind Friendly checking

The colorblind friendliness of all palettes have been checked using colorblindcheck. Those with [min_dist] >10 for all color vision deficiencies - deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia - are considered colorblind friendly. You can list the colorblind-friendly palettes with the following code:

NatParksPalettes::colorblind_palettes
[1] "Acadia"      "Arches"      "Arches2"     "DeathValley" "Glacier"     "KingsCanyon"

You can also check if a specific palette is colorblind friendly using the function provided

NatParksPalettes::colorblind.friendly("DeathValley")
[1] TRUE
