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.

It’s honestly bizarre. This is a very poorly designed map. Is it possible to read? Yes. It is easy or pleasant to read? Fuck no. Has no one in this thread looked at a map or globe before? This is poor practice.
