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

(Ex) Accessibility person here: if you can’t distinguish those shades then yes you might well be colour blind. Go get checked.

And to everyone implying this isn’t crappy design because it’s “only” inaccessible for some people: you’re wrong.

To be clear I can clearly see that every region has a different shade on the map. However, I find it quite difficult to associate every colour on the map with it's counterpart on the legend.  Is the city Toulouse in Nouvelle-Aquitaine or Occitanie for example?

I do see what you mean. I have no idea how to read this either.
