Color-blind friendly plots

[aclark02-arcus]

We received feedback from a color-blind user who says he can't differentiate between these colors in the legend. Perhaps we could adopt a color palette from viridis? Or maybe we use shapes? Like 🔲 🔺 🟢 ⭐ ? I'd lean towards shapes.

Hey @LDSamson, what do you think about this issue? Seems like it could be low hanging fruit. The person who suggested this wasn't using ClinSight daily, but they are about to start on a new study this week!

Maybe we can use both the existing colors but also shapes.
Ideally we could match the shape with a black and white text symbol. Then we can replace the asterisks in the study tables that with these symbols as well. These now indicate whether data is new, but the text is already in bold so we can reuse the asterisk for out-of-range information.

@LDSamson, This is probably could be separated out into a different Issue, but since you brought up marking records in the tables as well... we've had a couple requests come in asking if we can highlight any other metrics (non-labs) that may be out of range too. For example, a Karnosfky Performance score (or ECOG) that is less than X, could the cell be highlighted in red? Maybe we can use this lab-based symbol and apply it to non-labs too? Obviously, the "lower_limit" & "upper_limit" vars in the metadata.xlsx would need to be applied to the "common_forms" and "general" tabs... or I believe you mentioned once we should probably just combine those three tabs together, no?

Similarly, but different, does this apply to you? Apparently, A study we just launched has a 3 day window of when labs can be drawn after treatment / dose administration. If the lab date is outside the 3 day window rule on treatment date, it needs to get flagged. This request is a little harder than the one above because it doesn't follow the "lower_limit" / "upper_limit" framework. Just more food for thought.
