Changing the layers color palette for color blind people

LightBurn Software Questions

While I’m not color-blind, I cannot easily distinguish more than a few of the 30-odd shades.

So I depend on the Material Library to hold the settings I need for whatever material is on the platform, then assign those settings to the few layers I can easily distinguish:

  • C00 = Black = engraving
  • C01 = Blue = marking
  • C02 = Red = cutting

If a project needs more than three settings, I work my way through shades of similar colors for similar functions, for example C02 / C10 / C15 / C20 for cutting in various materials.

If one project needs more settings than that, I eventually realize I’m trying to be more clever than I can handle, split it into separate files for different materials, and start over with three colors. :grin:
