If you use Excel to draw a graph, the default colours the program chooses may not be accessible. For example, there may not be enough contrast between the colour shades, or red and green might be used, which will cause problems for people with red–green colourblindness.

choose an accessible colour palette
ensure that there is enough contrast between colours
avoid coloured backgrounds that reduce contrast between the figure elements
