Cover Story: Universal design is becoming an increasingly popular buzzword. Although tactile maps are an excellent example of implementing this concept, most people associate this type of map only with tactile content. However, among people with visual impairments (PVIs), a large proportion are people with residual vision, for whom high-contrast and highly generalized graphic content of tactile maps is designed. With colour being one of the most suggestive graphic variables, this article explores the possibility of creating a universal qualitative colour palette for tactile maps. We tested four proposed palettes in a controlled study with PVI, using the VIEW model—a common tool in research of visual features of products. Notably, the palette commonly used in Poland’s official tactile maps scored the lowest in every analysed dimension. View this paper
