    Using Autoclusters to name groups is something I did not think about doing. Great idea!

    oops, I see that the ethnicity map can already be adjusted for colorblind and other uses, with the icon at the top right of our DNA page.

    What about using labels when a user is color blind? Perhaps having some choices that have a pattern would help those people, and also give more different options for others to use. It would also be beneficial to use patterns on maps, such as our ethnicity map, and to have the web design people make sure the colors used are colorblind compatible. \nThanks for this webinar, and the new tool!

    Can a similar, or identical label system be developed for use with tree matches who have not had DNA tested with MyHeritage? It would be nice to be able to label all relatives from a specific village, town, city, county, etc., even if they haven't done any DNA testing.

    Good information. Why not use the 216 web-safe HTML colors developed for use on Mac & Windows browsers when most computer monitors could display only 256 colors? They're easily created in many graphics programs and reproduced consistently on most, if not all current browsers, on Mac, Linux, and Windows platforms
