Script to make palette for R-G-colorblindness

This produces an adjusted Solarized palette that evenly spaces hues
between blue & yellow, keeping everything else the same. It gives the
highest possible contrast for Deuteranopia.

SOLARIZED HEX
--------- -------
yellow    #b58900
orange    #cb4916
red       #dc2f51
magenta   #bb36d3
violet    #6c76c4
blue      #268bd2
cyan      #2aa189
green     #189900

+# This script modifies the Solarized palette to have as high contrast as
+# possible for red-green colorblind people. It keeps the saturation/lightness
+# of all colors the same, as well as the hues of blue & yellow. It simply
+# modifies the hues of the other colors so they are evenly spaced between blue
+# and yellow (on the red side), and green/cyan get flipped back onto the green
+# side. Running the script produces:
