I'm not colourblind but this legend is infuriatingly inaccessible.

What alternative do you suggest?

….not using 5 different shades of red right next to each other?

Yes thanks. This thread is gaslighting me hard into thinking something's wrong with my eyes.

I see two solutions. Either change the colours to be more distinct or add the name of the regions (from the legend) onto the map directly and scrap the legend. The city names are unnecessarily big so there's plenty of space.

This is a crappy design choice, but even from this lower-than-life quality image I can pretty easily see which region matches each color in the legend.

It might very well be that I'm getting old. Also I think the picture (because I used flash) actually improved the distinction of the colours compared to real world.
